On <strong>Saturday, September 30th from 9AM to 1PM<\/strong>\u00a0we will be at our office registering children with the CT CHIP program (which stands for the Connecticut Child Identification Program). The CT CHIP\u00a0program is a comprehensive child identification tool designed to give families a measure of protection against the ever increasing problem of missing children. A missing child is a horrific event we hope none of our families will ever experience, but we are eager to provide our patients with instrumental tools to help recover them safely if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Each child will leave the event with a &#8220;Purple Pack&#8221; &#8211; which includes a DVD interview of the child, a digital photo, fingerprints, a dental impression, and a cheek DNA swab. All of these materials will be given to the parent to go home with and none will remain property of Sweet Tooth or the Freemasons.\u00a0To date the CT CHIP program has held over 350 events and has provided the parents of more than 40,000 children with identification packets, and we&#8217;re hoping to add some Sweet Tooth patients to the list in a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-196 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sweettoothkids.com\/PediatricDentalBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/CHIP-Event-Flyer-724x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"663\" height=\"938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sweettoothkids.com\/PediatricDentalBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/CHIP-Event-Flyer-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/sweettoothkids.com\/PediatricDentalBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/CHIP-Event-Flyer-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/sweettoothkids.com\/PediatricDentalBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/CHIP-Event-Flyer-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sweettoothkids.com\/PediatricDentalBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/CHIP-Event-Flyer-982x1389.jpg 982w, https:\/\/sweettoothkids.com\/PediatricDentalBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/CHIP-Event-Flyer-283x400.jpg 283w, https:\/\/sweettoothkids.com\/PediatricDentalBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/CHIP-Event-Flyer.jpg 1588w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to organizing the event to provide a service to our patients, we are also looking forward to having a lot of FUN with everyone too!
