DID YOU KNOW? TEETH CAN HELP ESTIMATE A PERSON’S AGE
Teeth provide important clues about age because their development, eruption, wear, and internal changes occur in relatively predictable patterns.
Dentists and forensic odontologists may assess:
* Tooth development and eruption
* Root formation
* Tooth wear
* Changes in dentin and cementum
* Root transparency in adults
This is especially useful in forensic identification and age estimation.
Your teeth can tell more than just your dental history.
