How many teeth does an adult human typically have?

An adult human typically has 32 teeth, which includes 8 incisors, 4 canines, 8 premolars, and 12 molars, with the latter group including 4 third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth. The standard dental formula reflects how the teeth are organized in quadrants of the mouth. While some people may have fewer teeth due to extractions or congenital absence, the general count for fully developed adults is 32. This number is considered the norm for a complete set of permanent teeth when all teeth, including the wisdom teeth, have emerged.
