About Us
A member asked:
Do we have the same number of baby teeth as we do adult teeth?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Twenty primary teeth, thirty two secondary teeth (usually). In some people genetics play a role in formation of an extra tooth, or a tooth that does not form.

20/32: 20 baby teeth, 32 permanent teeth. Usually. Sometimes we are directed to genetically have missing or extra permanent teeth. Ask your Dentist to review your occlusion. If you are concerned about a growing child, seek evaluation by dent-facial growth and development experts, a specialist Pedodontist or specialist Orthodontist.
