Toothprints® for Kids' Identification
We offer Toothprints as a safeguard for children and parents. This product was developed by a pediatric dentist who began using dental bite impressions as a way of safeguarding his own child and other young patients. Toothprints, in short, is a print of your child's teeth that can be kept on file in case of an emergency.
In a quick, painless, and simple procedure, a thermoplastic wafer will record the size and shape of your child's teeth, the tooth position within the arch, and the relationship between upper and lower jaws. Like fingerprints, dental imprints are unique to every person, so bite impressions serve an accurate method of identification. Not even identical twins have the same bite characteristics. A Toothprints impression also captures saliva, which is a powerful source of human scent, thus making the wafer effective for scent-dog tracking. The saliva also provides a DNA sample.
Your family deserves healthy smiles designed for a lifetime. Call Aesthetic & Family Dentistry of Washington today to schedule your consultation or checkup with Dr. Obholz.
