How do police use dental records to identify dead people?

Question

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?

Pretty sure they just use them to prove who they already suspected it to be or possibly suspected it to be.
