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: -After your wisdom teeth erupt, you should have 32 teeth. However, in most cases, as soon as wisdom teeth start to erupt, patients remove them. Therefore, most healthy adult mouths have 28 teeth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adults typically have 32 teeth, four of which are wisdom teeth. One 2019 article states that a full set of adult teeth consists of 16 lower teeth and 16 upper teeth.

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.
