If they don’t know who you are they can’t go to YOUR dentist, right? Is there a National database that stores all of our our bitewings – I don’t remember consenting to that! And teeth look a lot alike on those X-rays – do you need special training to tell one set apart from another?

What everyone is saying about using records to confirm is true. Additionally, in some long term unidentified cases, local police will get the coroner to X ray the decedent’s teeth, and then send that info to a bunch local dentists to see if *they* can recognize the teeth and subsequently match them using actual records. I believe this is what happened in the Somerton Man case (he’s still unidentified, though they’re now trying DNA databases out).
