how do they identify dentals in forensics?

465 viewsBiologyOther

Do the police just show up at any dentist office and ask them to plug a tooth into the Tooth-Identifier 3000™?

There are thousands of dental offices.
Is there an international tooth database?

Well, if there’s a record on any dental procedure you have done, so a forensic odontologist, and he goes through dental records to get a positive ID.

If you recently had a tooth extracted or a cavity filled, the odontologist will be able to figure out how recently things have been done and work from there.
