How do police use dental records to identify dead people?

607 views

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?

It’s used for identification confirmation so they already have an idea of who the person was. You are correct that there is no public database that has your teeth for a medical examiner to just log on to.
