At Nationwide Children’s Hospital, the health and safety of our patients, families and staff has always been our top priority and it continues during this COVID pandemic.

To keep everyone as safe as possible, please see the changes we’ve made.

• Any visitor accompanying the patient to an appointment should be feeling well, should not have a recent exposure to COVID-19, and should not be under isolation for a positive COVID-19 test
• Complete the eCheck-in (Registration process) in MyChart on your phone or device.
• Call (614) 355-3750, Option 8 with MyChart questions

Call the clinic today if:

• In the past 10 days, the patient tested positive for COVID-19
• The patient is under quarantine due to close contact with someone who has COVID-19? (Includes notices by the health department or exposures occurring in the household, school/daycare, workplace, or other community setting.)
• In the past 24 hours, the patient has had symptoms of COVID such as fever or cough

Please save this message until after your appointment because it includes instructions for the day of your appointment.

• At this appointment, your child will be given sedative medications. The goal of giving the sedative is to help your child be as comfortable as possible during the dental procedure.
• Your child will not be put to sleep - that is done only in the Operating Room or Surgery Center.
• If your child is running a fever or seems to be coming down with a cold or runny nose, please call (614) 722-5661 at least one day before the sedation appointment. It may be better to reschedule the appointment if there is a chance that your child is ill.
• Your child must be without food or drink from midnight the night before. If your child takes regular medications in the morning, please call (614) 722-5661 for specific instructions.
• If your child uses an asthma inhaler/breathing treatment, please bring to the appointment.
• We recommend that 2 adults accompany each child for the sedation appointment.
• Patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Please bring any applicable guardianship paperwork to the visit.
• Please bring the patient's insurance card to every visit.
• Please arrive 15 minutes early. Patients who are late for their scheduled appointment may be asked to reschedule for a future date.
• Cancellation policy: If you are unable to keep your appointment, a 24 hour notice is required.
