Adults typically have 32 teeth in total. This full set includes:
- 8 incisors
- 4 canines
- 8 premolars
- 12 molars (including 4 wisdom teeth)
These 32 teeth are evenly divided between the upper jaw (16 teeth) and the lower jaw (16 teeth)
. However, many adults have only 28 teeth if their wisdom teeth (third molars) are removed, which is common due to crowding or other dental issues. Some adults may naturally lack one or more wisdom teeth, leading to fewer than 32 teeth overall
. In summary, the standard adult teeth count is 32, but it often ranges from 28 to 32 depending on wisdom teeth presence or removal.
