Dr. Yezerski's favorite major league baseball team is the Chicago Cubs, so it was only right to name his sponsored teams the Cubs also. When attending a few games, Dr. Yezerski gave all the team players a goodie bag full of a toothbrush, floss, a sticker and a few prizes. After one of the team’s game, the above picture was taken of the team, Dr. Yezerski and the game winning ball signed by all of the players. _____________________________________________________ Become a fan of Franklin Pediatric Dentistry  Franklin Pediatric Dentistry is now on Facebook!

When our patients have a cavity-free visit or successfully finish treatment, they can sign the No Cavity Club chalkboard wall! Our first No Cavity Club member was Connor Yezerski who had a successful visit with no tears and no cavities! _____________________________________________________ Toothprints® Now Available Toothprints® was developed by a pediatric dentist who began using dental bite impressions as a way of safeguarding his own child, and other young patients. The thermoplastic wafer records the size and shape of a 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. The dentist will soften the patented thermoplastic wafer in a water bath, and instruct your child to "open big, big like a lion then bite down tight while I count to 10." It's that simple. Parents keep the Toothprints® disc at home in a reclosable bag (provided), for confidentiality and quick access.
