Young adults have 28 teeth. 4 more teeth arrive in early adult hood (often described as wisdom teeth) at the very back of the jaws. So they have 32 teeth when these teeth arrive. If your question is how many teeth does the average adult lose to dental problems, accidents and other occurences I don't know the answer. It probably varies by occupation. Boxers and other people who take part in contact sports may get teeth knocked out. People with bad diets may lose teeth to eating too much sugar. Some people lose teeth at the orthodontist because their mouth is too small for all the teeth they have and some are removed to make room for the others to grow straight. I don't still have all of my teeth and I'm a fairly average adult!
