🦷 FORENSIC FRIDAYS: THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SMILE

Did you know your teeth could help reveal your identity, even when other evidence is difficult to find? 🔎

From their incredible durability to unique dental patterns and DNA hidden inside, teeth can hold some of the most valuable clues in forensic investigations.

🧬 Three reasons teeth hold the clues:
🔴 Durability: Tooth enamel is the hardest tissue in the human body.
🟣 Uniqueness: Dental patterns, fillings and X-rays can help identify an individual.
🔴 DNA: The protected tissue inside a tooth can be a valuable source of DNA.

Ready to sink your teeth into more forensic science? 👀

💬 Which fact surprised you the most? Tell us in the comments!
