It depends what you mean by 'dented'. If you mean it gradually curves inwards over the whole shell surface - it indicates your slider is a male. If you mean there are small dents all over the surface - that's not normal and should be investigated by a vet !

What is a yellow plastron on a turtle?

The plastron is the part of the shell that faces the ground; it is the part protecting the turtle's abdomen. In the case of a yellow-bellied turtle such as a slider or cooter (as a hobbyist, I've had 2 MS yellow-bellied cooters in my life and I think they're great turtles), the plastron is in fact its yellow belly. Hope it helps.
