How Many Teeth?

This may sound like a daft question but how many of your own teeth do you have left?

I've only got 23 left. We should have 32 inclusive of 4 wisdom teeth but I surely can't remember having 9 removed

I have 28 left, I had my wisdom teeth removed about 20 years ago.

I have 30 now - 2 lower molars will be removed sometime next year and maybe 2 wisdom teeth will come down as well (I'm not sure yet)..

I asked this question a while ago. If you search, you might find some more replies.

P.S. I have 27 right now. 1 wisdom tooth pulled. 2 wisdom teeth didn't come in. 2 teeth were baby teeth only and had no permanent teeth behind them.

P.P.S. Having fewer teeth than "normal" is called hypodentism.

Hi,

I also have 24 teeth. Four wisdom pulled out 8 years ago, two top 4's and two bottom 5's pulled 7 weeks ago. If you count the 3 crowned and one that has been built up after breaking in half that makes 20 whole teeth 3 stumps and a half

Before the 3 stumps were crowned I knocked them out (hence the crowns) I sat next to my teeth in A+E for 20 minutes (they were having a little bath in a pot of saline) then the doc came along and put them back in my mouth

And there they stayed untill they discoloured to silver blue and were crowned.

Thanks everyone, I don't feel so bad now even though I have the least hahaha.

I had 4 molars removed aged 12 when I had my removable braces and one wisdom tooth removed only 6 months ago. Plus 15 years ago I had one molar removed due to an abcess. That leaves 3 teeth unaccounted for

Maybe not all my wisdom teeth came through.
