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?

Teeth are harder and don’t decompose the way flesh does. Teeth are very unique and most people have up to 32 of them. So when a body can’t be identified using conventional means – fingerprints, tattoos, and other identifying marks – they turn to dental records. If the suspected victim had dental work done it would help authorities to match a cadaver to those records giving them a positive match.
