How many teeth does an adult human typically have?

An adult human typically has 32 teeth, which includes the four third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth. Most adults have a set of 8 incisors, 4 canines, 8 premolars, and 12 molars, assuming that all wisdom teeth have erupted and are present. This complete set is often cited in dental health discussions, and is a standard reference for adult dentition.

While some individuals may have fewer teeth due to extractions, congenital conditions, or the absence of one or more wisdom teeth, 32 is the commonly accepted number for a full set in healthy adults.
