To ask how many teeth you have?

[hummingbird100]

I've got 28 teeth. My wisdom teeth came through at age 18-ish, then I have 3 more molars (on each side top and bottom), then a canine, then 2 incisors at the front. Totalling 28. But I've just read that adults generally have 32. Why am I missing some teeth? A diagram shows 4 molars, not 3. I have no gaps and have never had any teeth removed!

28 - had all four wisdom teeth out a few years ago, as they were rubbish. They kept on emerging, then the gum would heal/partially heal back over them, and made flossing impossible as my teeth were all tightly packed together!

Never had any other teeth out though, never had a filling,

27. I've had one molar removed and my wisdom teeth haven't come through. Don't know if they will as I'm 26 now and I thought they'd have come through now.

My back molars at the top didn't come through until I was about 16

I had 32 until very recently when I had a wisdom tooth removed. So 31 now.

29 but one has a crown and another desperately needs one. My teeth are terrible; dentist tells me I have old lady dry mouth and don't produce enough saliva to protect my teeth plus I already have thin enamel.
2 extractions of normal teeth and one horribly impacted wisdom tooth out too.

I love the thought of everyone counting their teeth! bestzebbie your info is fascinating - I've actually remembered my toddler DS has a dentist appointment next week for a check up so I may just ask the dentist to confirm which ones I'm actually missing!

26. I had two taken out to bring back my over bite then I had all four wisdom extracted as they couldn't come through

I've had several teeth removed. Two were for braces, lower wisdoms taken out. I've lost teeth after accidents and two after abscesses, which has actually been good for the 4 front lower teeth, which are now moving nicely apart after years of getting more and more wonky. I also have 2 crowns, but have inherited horrifically soft teeth from DF. I hate the dentist. I had to have all my back teeth removed when i was about 2 and I still remember the nightmares I had while under the gas!

I have counted 31 minus 1 which was removed when I was 15 and I have always had them. All in a straight line and I have never had braces.

I have been told by my dentist to be careful about tooth decay because of how many teeth I have got. There is no space in between them. This makes it difficult to floss.

I've got 28 and funnily enough I asked my dentist if I had all my teeth as I don't remember losing any and I had read I should have 32. He assured me I have all my teeth, just never got wisdom (teeth or otherwise) Actually I am quite impressed that I have got to 62 and still have all my teeth. If you had asked me 40 years ago I would have expected to lose some by now, not got the greatest teeth with quite a few fillings but they actually look quite good. Don't know how that works really.

I have 33. One wisdom tooth has just started to come through so will soon be 34. For some reason I have 2 extra teeth

26, I had 2 teeth out for a brace and have had 4 wisdoms out (mine started coming through at 16 so it is possible to get them young). So I should have 28 I guess.

33. I have a spare.

Just don't a rough count iv got 32 teeth, 16 top and bottom.

Not lost a single adult tooth and never felt my wisdom teeth come in.

32, tbh I'm quite surprised I haven't lost any yet as my family have always had bad teeth.

29 - I've lost both my upper wisdom teeth and a lower molar.

I don't think that's bad for 60

25. I had all 4 wisdom teeth out and another three for braces as a teen.

27, 1 removed no wisdom teeth

30 - have all 4 wisdoms although 1 is partially impacted, and have had 2 molars removed.

28 - 4 premolars removed for braces when I was 14ish.

I have 25, 1 of my wisdom teeth hasn't erupted and had 6 teeth removed for braces
