The teeth chart numbered shows the teeth numbers and the names of each type of teeth in the English language. This teeth chart will help you learn about how many teeth are numbered and how to pronounce each type of tooth in the English language. Most people in America get 32 adult teeth-8 incisors, 4 canines, 12 premolars, and 10 molars when they are fully grown and permanent.
What does your teeth chart look like?
Tooth number chart shows there are 32 teeth. Your upper and lower jaws each have eight incisors, four canines, six premolars and six molars. There are four additional third molars (wisdom teeth) that usually don’t emerge until you reach your late teens or early twenties. If you lose a tooth in between, your dentist will likely tell you that a dental implant or bridge would be best for replacing it. However, if all of your wisdom teeth do come in, there may not be enough room for them inside your mouth and they may emerge crooked or infected. While some of these wisdom teeth issues can be treated by brushing and flossing regularly, others may require surgery to prevent serious complications down the road.
Do you have all 34 teeth?
If you have all 34 teeth, congratulations! But what if you don’t? If you lose your baby teeth before losing your wisdom teeth, and all of your adult permanent teeth fall out…that means you have a total of 36 permanent (adult) teeth. According to Dr. Michael Roizen, that is exactly how many teeth you should have at any given time. However, if you were born with fewer than that—or more—it may be worth scheduling an appointment with your dentist to discuss how best to proceed.
If you lost one or more teeth as a child: The number of permanent adult teeth in your mouth depends on when they fell out and how old you were when they did so. For example, let’s say that as a child, you lost two front teeth—one at age 10 and another at age 12. As an adult, that would mean there should be 32 permanent (adult) teeth in your mouth: 8 incisors; 4 canines; 16 premolars; 8 molars.
Understanding premolars and molars.
First, let’s briefly explore what these two types of teeth are. Molars and premolars (also called bicuspids) chew food into small pieces so it can be swallowed more easily. Molars have a crown of cusps that looks like a bunch of hills; premolars have four main cusps. In order to avoid confusion, there’s an easy way to remember how many molars and premolars you have: First molar = one tooth in each quadrant (the upper right and lower right), third molar = three teeth in each quadrant.
What about wisdom teeth (3rd molars)?
The third molars, also known as wisdom teeth, usually appear during your mid to late twenties or early thirties. It’s not uncommon for third molars to appear decades later, though. The process of losing and replacing these deciduous teeth is called exfoliation (or tooth eruption) and is a normal part of growing up. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends seeing a dentist before age 19 to assess whether your wisdom teeth need to be removed before they break through the gums. If you don’t have any other complications, removing wisdom teeth—if needed—is routine and can be done in your dentist’s office without much downtime or pain.
Pictures of where your teeth should be.
First, check out a picture of where your teeth should be (in other words, take a look at your tooth chart). That should make it pretty clear what you’re looking for. If you still don’t see anything after that, it might be time to book an appointment with your dentist. They’ll be able to tell you for sure whether or not your tooth has come loose and fallen out or if something else is going on. And if that isn’t enough to satisfy your curiosity (it’s one of ours!), ask them about how long dentures last—we didn’t talk about them in our answer above but they’re definitely part of dental care! If they need to make more room because their old teeth aren’t fitting anymore, they may end up having to switch over anyway.

Three Front Teeth Missing. Why did it happen? What causes such a problem? The fact is that at birth all 20 baby teeth in place (if everything goes smoothly). The reason for their falling out can only be dental caries or injury to these structures. On average, they begin to fall out between 11 and 15 years old. Children – girls usually lose three teeth on each side, and boys have four holes. But there are those who lose even more than 10 – 14 in one row, which is attributed to genetic predisposition. This can be explained by the presence of deciduous dentition pathology with increased bone absorption activity. In young people from 1st molars fall early.
