Need individual supplemental dental insurance?

If you live in Maryland there's no doubt that we have your two best options with the Maryland Preventive Dentistry Program and Superior Dental Group.

But if you don't live in Maryland one particular competitor of ours, DentalInsurance.com, is probably worth checking out simply because of the wide variety of plans and programs they carry. We once tried to line up a lot of different programs ourselves in order to compete with them but it turns out we don't have the resources necessary to negotiate the rates they came up with.

DentalInsurance.com has national plans as well as a number of regional plans that might be just what you're looking for today. But, remember, if you live in Maryland no one has a program good enough to beat ours!

Indicative of this concern is the fact that to date, 34 states have implemented AMBER Alert systems that issue state-wide public alerts about missing children. As a dental professional offering Toothprints bite impressions, you play a pivotal role in providing a proven means of identifying children or, better yet, DNA and saliva samples for tracking them. Developed by Dr. Dave Tesini, a pediatric dentist from Massachusetts, Toothprints is a simple, cost-effective way of documenting your young patient’s unique tooth characteristics, tooth position within the arch and maxillomandibular jaw relationship – all important identifiers. Toothprints is an arch-shaped thermoplastic wafer that you soften in hot water, then place on the patient’s lower arch. The child bites into the wafer for 50 seconds in the same manner as a bite registration taken for prosthetics or orthodontics. After allowing a 2-3 minute cool-down period in the plastic bag provided, you’ll give your patients’ parents the Toothprints bite impression to take home for safekeeping. Kerr offers Toothprints at minimal cost so that you can provide this service at an affordable price or even on a complimentary basis as a practice builder. Making a Toothprints bite impression takes only a few minutes. It’s comfortable for your young patients and will give their parents peace of mind. Hopefully, they’ll never have to use it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Provide Your Patients A Service You Hope They Never Have to Use A couple of dollars and a few minutes of chairtime is a small investment to make for the huge return of being able to assist authorities in tracking a missing child or making a positive identification. Few children have fingerprints taken and the successful fight against tooth decay has left many children with no cavities and few dental records. Toothprints provides a unique record that can give parents greater peace of mind. According to Peter Banks, Director of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, when Toothprints is taken, sufficient proteins in the saliva remain on the wafer from which a DNA test can be successfully performed for yet a second means of identification from Toothprints. He also states that, since the Toothprints wafer is sealed in a “zipper”-type plastic bag, enough scent remains for a trained dog to identify and track with it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Toothprints Update Schedule Yearly updates of Toothprints bite impressions is ideal. In lieu of that, the following schedule is recommended: 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). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patient Marketing Support Materials Encourages Patients To Ask About Toothprints Tasteful, yet eye-catching display holds patient brochures that markets Toothprints for you. Informative take-home patient brochures explain the importance of Toothprints and its imprinting procedure. It also includes valuable child safety suggestions and what to do should a child be missing, including pertinent Web sites. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Law enforcement officials rarely have ID materials available for teenagers, yet teens are the most likely to become lost, missing or abducted. Toothprints offers a very powerful recovery and identification component of any child’s identification kit.” – David Harte, DMD Massachusetts Masonic Child Identification Program State Director Massachusetts Dentist of the Year 2002 National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s Special Achievement Award for the Year 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Order Information: Toothprints Dental ID Part #32395 (contains 25 Toothprints Impression Packs) Counter Display with Pocket Part #32418
