Local Dental Office Provides Toothprints To Safeguard Area Children
by Anonymous

Raleigh, NC March 12, 2004 -– Dr. Tarun Agarwal, Managing Partner at Dental Arts, is offering free Toothprints Bite Impressions to area children. These dental identification kits can be used by parents in the event that their child is abducted or missing. The dental bite impressions safeguard children by providing dental characteristics in a small thermoplastic wafer. Toothprints Bite Impressions record the size and shape of the teeth, tooth position within the arch, the relationship of the upper and lower jaw, and a DNA sample obtained from the saliva that adheres to the wafer. The saliva can also provide a source of human scent, which can be effective in dog tracking. Agarwal is providing the Toothprints kit free of charge to area parents. To obtain a kit, please call (919) 870-7645 for more information.

“Dental restorations and X-rays have been the primary basis for dental identification but the successful fight against tooth decay has left many children with no cavities and no dental records,” said Agarwal. “We hope to provide parents with an inexpensive and reliable means of identification.”
