How many teeth have you got?

Just that really. I do mean teeth of your own. I’m having an extraction tomorrow and will be left with 25 teeth. 12 top, 13 bottom. Seems enough to me, what do you think?

I have 30. I had a couple of wisdom teeth out when I was young. I think I have enough teeth.

I think I'd be thinking about filling the gaps if I'd lost 7 teeth. Do you think it affects your speech or eating, having lots of gaps?

WorkingtoUNI · 30/09/2018 17:30

14 bottom and 16 on top. Including wisdom.

Inmyvestandpants · 30/09/2018 17:32

I too have only 25 teeth and it really worries me. What if I lose more? It's enough but there are none to spare. The odd bottom tooth might as well not be there, as it has not partner to mash food against.

Going to see an orthodontist next week about a couple of implants to supplement my gnashers.

Same as you OP, including the allocation - and it’s fine!

Aridane · 30/09/2018 17:35

4 extractions as a child to stop overcrowding

2 wisdom teeth out

One back tooth out which cracked and beyond repair

FuckyDuzz · 30/09/2018 17:35

I have no idea - have you all just sat and counted your teeth?

AnneLovesGilbert · 30/09/2018 17:36

Not a clue! How do you all know how many teeth you have?

I don’t have any wisdom teeth and haven’t had any out or fillings.

candlefloozy · 30/09/2018 17:36

32?!?!

n0ne · 30/09/2018 17:37

I only have 23! I've had two premolars (were milk teeth, the adult teeth never grew) and a molar removed in recent years, but I always had 3 teeth 'missing' (2 incisors at the top and one at the bottom - the remaining teeth are kind of evenly spaced out so pretty gappy). I manage 🤷🏽‍♀️

ShatnersBassoon · 30/09/2018 17:40

Not a clue! How do you all know how many teeth you have?

I know how many I had, and I know how many were removed. It's not big numbers maths!

EllebellyBeeblebrox · 30/09/2018 17:40

Dunno, however many I should have minus one horrendous extraction a few months back.

captainprincess · 30/09/2018 17:41

28

Eminybob · 30/09/2018 17:42

Just counted - they are all there, 32

jmh740 · 30/09/2018 17:43

13 on the top 13 on the bottom I had all 4 wisdom teeth out over 15 years ago they were Impacted, I've had 3 of my top teeth out due to over crowding and at least 1 from the bottom

Showergel1 · 30/09/2018 17:43
  1. Had loads out, braces, operation. Had nice teeth for 4 years and now it's back to wonky gaps. I'd love American teeth.
Plural · 30/09/2018 17:43

If we're meant to have 32 I have 28 as am minus all wisdom teeth (tiny jaw)

Watto1 · 30/09/2018 17:44

Just counted mine. 24. Had a few out due to overcrowding as a teenager and simply didn't have any wisdom teeth. I'm obviously not very wise! I seem to be managing just fine. What teeth I do have are fairly big though.

Watto1 · 30/09/2018 17:46

And I don't have any gaps either.

QueenCuntyFlippers · 30/09/2018 17:46

I have 29 ( 1 wisdom tooth extraction) and my 2nd set of wisdom teeth might possibly come through at a later date - you can see them
On X-rays (it’s quite unusual to have them, apparently)

AlrightBabby · 30/09/2018 17:46

6 Blush

But a bloody gorgeous set of dentures Grin

TinklyLittleLaugh · 30/09/2018 17:47
  1. They are not great though. I had loads of sweets as a child and have lots of filings.

I'm was very particular about looking after my kids teeth and as adults they have Hollywood smiles; straight white teeth and one filing between the four of them.
