IMPORTANT: Aimed at the general public, the Bücco Guide is a general educational guide. Its content presents some of the most common dental practices. However, there are many approaches and philosophies in dentistry and your dentist / specialist will be able to advise you on what he believes to be the most appropriate for your oral health. Do not hesitate to consult a dentist / specialist for more information.

There are 32 teeth in your mouth

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.

  • Adequate functioning of the digestive system (properly chewed food).
  • Self-confidence, pride, and self-esteem.
