Job Description
Forensic Dentistry Job Description
*Forensic dentistry is the proper handling and examination of dental evidence, which is brought to justice.
*If the body found in a crime scene is unidentifiable, it is the forensic dentist’s job to examine possible dental evidence.
*It is the job of the forensic dentist to identify a dead body that is totally burnt, destroyed, or decayed.
*By examining the teeth as well as reviewing dental records, the forensic dentist can determine who the deceased individual is.
*Forensic dentists are a very important part of investigations, disaster recovery, and solving crimes.
*They are the ones who investigators turn to when the cadaver is so destroyed that it seems impossible to identify it through facial features.
*These are usually victims who have been burned, thrown in a body of water, or have been buried dead for a long time.
Training and Education
*Aspiring forensic dentists must have completed a degree in dentistry or at least have attended courses and trainings in Odontology (diseases, anatomy, and development of teeth).
*Since these experts are dealing with teeth and dental work, an educational background in dentistry is certainly a must.
*It is an advantage if candidates have attended trainings in criminalities and law enforcement.
