Detailed explanation-1: -A full set of adult teeth will amount to 32 teeth in total. This includes the wisdom teeth, which grow in at the back of the mouth. These normally grow in much later and can be expected between 17 and 21 years. For some people wisdom teeth don’t grow in at all.

Detailed explanation-2: -The short answer is that humans have 20 primary teeth and 32 secondary (permanent) teeth during their lifetime.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adult Teeth It is common for adults to have their wisdom teeth removed because there is not always enough room for them to grow in comfortably or without causing misalignment of other teeth. So, how many teeth do humans have? Typically, children have 20 and adults have 32 (28 if the wisdom teeth are removed).

Detailed explanation-4: -The permanent dentition consists of 32 teeth. This is made up of four incisors, two canines (or cuspids), four premolars (or bicuspids), four molars and two wisdom teeth (also called third molars) in each jaw. If wisdom teeth have been removed there will be 28 teeth.
