Permanent Dentition (Adult Teeth)

There are 32 teeth in your mouth

The permanent dentition has a total of 32 teeth, including wisdom teeth.

Here is the composition of this dentition:

• 8 incisors (central and lateral);
• 4 canines;
• 8 premolars;
• 12 molars.

These teeth will be visible in the mouth from the age of 12 or 13. The first adult teeth will appear from age 6-7 and form the mixed dentition because there is still the presence of some primary teeth. The last primary tooth is shed around age 12.
