| Toothprints is a patented, arch-shaped thermoplastic wafer. When your child bites into the softened wafter, 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. Updating Toothprints: The initial impression should be taken when your child is 3 years of age; after all the primary teeth have come in. It should be repeated at age 7 or 8 when the first permanent molars have come in. Then repeated again at age 12 or 13 when all permanent teeth (excluding 3rd molars) have come in. This would need to be repeated once again after any dental braces have been removed. Toothprints can be used while a child wears dental braces |
| A Toothprints dental ID takes only a few minutes. It's comfortable for your child and gives you peace of mind. Hopefully, you'll never need to use it. |
| A pediatric dentist developed Toothprints as a way of safeguarding his own child and other young patients. Like fingerprints, dental impressions are unique to every person, so bite impressions can serve as an accurate method of identification. |
| An unrinsed Toothprints also captures saliva, which is a powerful source of our scent, making Toothprints effective for scent-dog tracking. |
| Parents comments: I love Toothprints! When I bought my first one for my three year old, I decided to try it at home instead of taking her to the dentist (she's a little scared of him). I boiled some water and dipped the wafer in a tea cup for 30 seconds to soften it. Then I placed the wafer into my daughter's mouth. She bit down for 20 seconds and then I pulled it out! I was surprised to find that the wafer wasn't hot after I took it out of the boiling water. She enjoyed the experience, and was amazed that she could make teeth impressions. -Jennifer |
