New Covid-19 Protocol Checklist:

1. Only one guardian per child or siblings and no siblings without an appointment to limit the number of people in the office at one time.  With Dr. Kristina's permission, exceptions may be made for patients with special healthcare needs. ​
2. We are requiring masks to be worn by all adults, teens, and children 3-12 who can tolerate it.
3. Cancellation policy: We ask that you give us at least 48 hours notice to any changes to your appointment to avoid a cancellation/no-show fee of $75 per child.
4. Late policy: If you are more than 10 minutes late to your appointment, we will have to reschedule and charge a broken appointment fee of $75 per child.
5. Fill out our COVID-19 screening form less than 24 hours before your appointment, which we will text to you one day before your appointment. 
   1. You can also use this link. ​
   2. Fill out one form for everybody coming into the office, which means your child and one accompanying parent/guardian. 
6. Remote check-in: Please arrive 10-15 minutes early and give us a call as soon as you are outside (if walking) or have found a good parking spot, to make sure we have all the information we need from you before your child's appointment. We will then call you when it is time for you to head back to the dental chair, and Dr. Kristina will meet you in the waiting room to take your temperature using a touch-less thermometer and walk you back. 
7. As far in advance as you can, fill out all relevant forms, accessed through our secure patient portal which is linked in our confirmation emails and texts. If you are unable to log in or if the link has expired, please contact us as soon as possible. In the past, we have had a tablet at the office that you may have used in the waiting room, but we do not have it available at this time so please fill out all forms at home or from your phone. 
   1. New patients: please fill out all forms. 
   2. Patients scheduled for a checkup: please update your child's medical history if it is has been more than 6 months.
   3. Patients scheduled for treatment: please sign your child's treatment plan. If you have any questions about the proposed treatment, please contact us to schedule a phone call with Dr. Kristina before your appointment.
   4. All returning patients: please let us know before your appointment if your insurance, address, phone number, email, or any other information has changed. 
8. There will be a $25 PPE Fee assessed for every visit in order to offset the additional cost in keeping everyone safe. It will be submitted to insurance as D1999 however it may be your responsibility if it is not a covered benefit of your particular plan.

As always, please call/email/text us with any questions!  (415) 613-6123 or hello@sfpediatricdentistry.com​

Are you a new patient? Dr. Kristina has made a quick welcome video to let you know what she looks like since she will be all dressed up in PPE when you first meet her!
