Many adults have 32 teeth:

  • 8 incisors
  • 4 canines
  • 8 premolars
  • 12 molars (including 4 wisdom teeth)

Children start out with zero teeth, but usually by age 3 they have all of their primary teeth (or "baby teeth"), which are 20 in number.

By thirteen, most kids have lost all of their baby teeth and have a full set of 28 permanent teeth. Then, between the ages of 17-25, we get wisdom teeth. If there is room in your mouth for those to grow in, then you end up with a set of 32 teeth. If not, and they have to be pulled, then you end up with a set of 28.
We have 32 permanent teeth, if we look after them we will have them all of our lives.

Yes and no. Adults generally have 28 permanent teeth excluding the wisdom teeth. Most adults will not develop all 4 wisdom teeth, which would bring the count to 32, had they.

However, the amount of teeth can change during adulthood depending on tooth extractions, wisdom teeth, or malformed teeth.
