Most adult humans have 32 permanent teeth [1, 2, 3]. Here's a breakdown of the typical adult teeth:
-
Molars (including wisdom teeth): 12 (4 wisdom teeth)
-
Premolars (bicuspids): 8
-
Canines: 4
-
Incisors: 8
It's important to note that wisdom teeth are not always present and may need to be removed due to lack of space or potential alignment issues. So, depending on your individual situation, you might have fewer than 32 teeth if some wisdom teeth were extracted.
