    Teeth are the part of the body most resistant to decomposition—that’s why they often use dental records to identify remains.

      Although this is correct, it is shocking how fast they can decompose, or rot, once cavities set it. I have a dentist phobia and am losing most of my teeth these days. I wouldnt imagine many zombies have regular dental checkups. Luckily, I can get dentures. Imagine a zombie “Hold still, Im trying to get my dentures in”.

        There isn’t much sugar in brains, so their teeth may last longer than the average alive human.
