About This Answer
Adults have 32 permanent teeth including incisors, canines, premolars, and molars (including wisdom teeth). According to the American Dental Association, these teeth typically emerge by age 21. The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History documents how tooth evolution reflects dietary adaptations. Dental researchers note that many adults have wisdom teeth removed, reducing the functional count to 28. The 32-tooth set represents the full complement of adult human dentition.
