As a parent, one of your greatest fears is that your child might get lost, or worse, be abducted. If such a situation were to occur, your prompt response - with photographs and other concrete means for tracking your child and making identification - is paramount. A pediatric dentist developed Toothprints bite impressions as a way of safeguarding his own child and other young patients.
Like fingerprints, dental imprints are unique to every person, so bite impressions can serve as an accurate method of identification. Dental restorations and X-rays have historically been the primary basis for dental identification. Toothprints is important now because the successful fight against tooth decay has left many children with no cavities and, thus, no dental records. An unrinsed Toothprints also captures saliva, which is a powerful source of scent, making Toothprints effective for scent-dog tracking. Toothprints is simple and easy for your dentist to take, and once taken, you'll keep the records for immediate access.



What is Toothprints?
Toothprints is a patented, arch-shaped thermoplastic wafer. When your child bites into the softened wafer, it records individual tooth characteristics, tooth position within the arch and the upper to lower jaw relationship - all important information for identification. You'll then write your child's name on the zippered plastic bag provided and keep it at home in a safe place.
