how many teeth are in the adult mouth
The ânormalâ adult human has 32 teeth. An adult should have 32 teeth with 8 incisors, 4 canines, 8 premolars, and 12 molars which include the four wisdom teeth. Humans develope 2 sets of teeth in their lives. the first set known as baby teeth began to come though at about age 6 months. They eventually have about 20 teeth as children before they began to lose them. The second, permanent set of teeth consists of 32 teeth. Twenty-eight of them appear between the ages of about 6 and 12 years. Secondary teeth do not push deciduous teeth out of their sockets; instead, a group of cells (odontoclasts) forms in front of tip of second tooth and dissolves the base of first tooth.
