One of the greatest fears of being a parent today is either a child getting lost or, worse yet, abducted. Although all states have implemented the AMBER Alert system issuing statewide public alerts about missing children, more on an individual level can be done. As a parent, you play a pivotal role in providing a proven means of identifying your child or, better yet, DNA and saliva samples for tracking them. Each person's set of teeth is unique...even in identical twins.
Toothprints is a simple, cost-effective way of documenting your young child's unique tooth characteristics. Toothprints is an arch-shaped thermoplastic wafer you soften in hot water, and place on the child's lower arch. The child bites into the wafer for 20 seconds. After allowing a 2-3 minute cool-down period in the plastic bag provided. Making a Toothprints bite impression takes only a few minutes. It’s comfortable for young children and will give you, their parent, peace of mind.
Recommended Toothprints Schedule:
Initial impression: Age 3 (or after all primary teeth have erupted)
Update: Age 7 or 8 (or after the upper and lower incisors and the first permanent molars have erupted)
Update: Age 12 or 13 (or after all permanent teeth, excluding 3rd molars, have erupted).
