Adults have 32 teeth differentiated in 16-16 between the two jaws and are categorized in to 4 types i.e, incisors,canines,molar,premolar..

This includes the wisdom teeth which are simply a third set of molars. It is possible to be born with less than 32 teeth or more than 32 teeth. If a person has had all four of their wisdom teeth removed, they will have 28 teeth. If they have also had braces, which oftentimes requires the removal of the four first bicuspid teeth, they will function in life with 24 teeth. Children have 20 teeth, once they all come in of course. By the age of 2 years most children have all of their primary (baby) teeth.

Secondary teeth are essential for proper chewing, speaking, and maintaining overall oral health.

This dual-set system allows for proper development and maintenance of our teeth throughout life.
