Customer Service 800 .880.3080 Why Choose SafeGuard Dental? For 30 years, SafeGuard has provided dental benefits to people like you who want a quality dental plan as well as excellent service. SafeGuard's network of dental care professionals must meet high standards set by both SafeGuard and the State of California. And with one of the largest networks in the State, you will have excellent access to care. We want you to know that, at SafeGuard, our members are our first priority. How the Plan Works Dental care is provided by the SafeGuard network dentist you select when you enroll your child in this plan. You will receive a directory of dentists in your area that lists the ages of children the dentist will treat and the languages spoken. When we receive your enrollment, we will send you a membership ID card. The dentist you selected for your child will be listed. You may change dentists by calling SafeGuard's Customer Service before the 25th day of the month. On average, an appointment for a check-up will be scheduled two to three weeks from the date you call the dentist. You should wait no longer than 30 minutes when you arrive for your appointment. If the dentist feels your child should see a specialist, you will be provided with the name, address and telephone number of a specialist in your area. If emergency dental care is needed, call your child's SafeGuard dentist first. If you cannot reach your child's dentist, call SafeGuard during business hours or for recorded instructions after hours. Full information on emergency care can be found on the SafeGuard website at www.safeguard.net and in the Evidence of Coverage booklet you will receive with your ID card.
