– How do dental records work?

113 viewsBiologyOther

In cases where a body is found, how do they identify them only with dental records? E.g. all my dental work is done in my home country and I live in a different country. How will this different country know who I am by my fillings etc?

They would first need to suspect someone is missing, and have a good idea who it might be. They then go ask that person’s dentist for x-rays to compare the teeth to.

There is not some massive shared dental database to identify random bodies with completely unknown people.
