Dental Professionals

Several Masonic Jurisdictions have forged partnerships with their local state Dental Hygienists' Associations. CTHIP in Connecticut reports that CDHA Past-President Mary Moran Boudreau is a member of the CTCHIP State Committee and organizes CDHA members to volunteer their services to generate Toothprint® dental impressions at CTCHIP Events. Mary has written the proceedure and holds small group training sessions for volunteers in Connecticut to become qualified to generate Toothprints® at CTCHIP Events.

For more information visit the Connecticut Dental Hygienists' Association website or contact CTCHIP.

The American Dental Association (ADA) passed a resolution that asked all of its constituent state associations and societies to partner with civic and fraternal groups by volunteering their time to generate dental records at CHIP events.

In 2003, the inventor, patent holder of the dental impression wafer, Toothprints®, also a brother Mason, offers his product to any service and fraternal organizations that wishes to partner with their state dental professional and include the generation of Toothprints® at their child ID programs.

Masonichip International was on the agenda at the 2006 National Convention of the ADA in Las Vegas, Nevada. Dr. David Harte, a forensic  dentist and Masachusetts Freemason, serves Masonichip as a national spokesperson and liasion to the American Dental Asociation. He together with Peter Banks, Director of Outreach and Training for the National Center (NCMEC) appeared as the keynote speakers to increase awareness of our Masonic Safety Identification initiatives across North America and explain that we operate jurisdiction to jurisdiction in a manner simular to the constituant Dental Associations and Societies of the ADA. They were well received and brought back valuable contact information. If your jurisdiction is interested in forming a collaboration with the Dental Association in your State, email Dr. David Harte directly or any Masonichip Board Member.
