32
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!

Do adults have a total of 32 teeth?

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.

Why do adults have more teeth than children?

Adults typically have more teeth than children because adults have a full set of permanent teeth, which includes 32 teeth, while children have only primary (baby) teeth, totaling 20. As children grow, their baby teeth fall out and are replaced by permanent teeth, leading to the increase in the total number of teeth. Additionally, adults often have third molars, or wisdom teeth, which can further increase their total tooth count.
