the center of your front upper teeth.

People who are strictly of western European origin have the Carabelli cusp bump on that tooth. People who have Native American (Indian) or Asian heritage are missing the bump. The sides of their maxillary first molars will be smooth.
Based upon dental records and other physical elements - a strong possibility of Native American heritage exists. I do not know where the Native American comes in to my genealogy...but I have a strong feeling it will be discovered through a maternal line connected to my Wells family.
The possible family names with a Native American connection could be: Wells, Jay, Elmore, Pugh, Chizum, Peed, Brooks, Vice, Howard, Noland, White, Fagin, Rugg, ?

Carabelli cusp, an accessory cusp on the lingual aspect of the mesiolingual
cusp of an upper molar, which may be unilateral or bilateral and may vary considerably
in size; it is common in Caucasians but quite rare in East Asians and certain
other groups. Called also Carabelli tubercle.
