Out of 32 adult (permanent) teeth, most adults have 28(wisdom teeth extracted), or 24(wisdom teeth and one premolar in each quadrant extracted).

Was spongebob really meant for adults?

No, it really wasn't, there's little if any evidence of that, the show was meant to appeal to both adults and kids, seeing how adults usually are forced to watch cartoons with their kids, the show added some adult humor to itself, humor that only the adults would get. Other then that, no, it was always intended to be a kids show. The same effect happened with other kids shows like Rocko, Rugrats, and many others.


Why I have 36 teeth?

Many adults have 32 teeth:8 incisors4 canines8 premolars12 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.
