Toothprints

What is Toothprints?

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

How often should you update Toothprints?

Most dentists recommend that you take an initial impression when your child is age 3 (after all primary teeth come in), repeating it at age 7 or 8 (after the upper and lower front four teeth & permanent molars come in) and again at age 12 or 13 (after all permanent teeth have come in).

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.
