Dental anatomy: Size, shape, position in the arch, enamel density. Ask your Dentist. He/she will know by clinical appearance and appearance on x-ray. So give your Dentist a call. If you don't have a Dentist it's time to find one. Ask local Dental Society, your friends, co-workers, family. Or see if there is a Dental School near you.

Ask Dentist: Typically , unless you have a family history of not getting all adult teeth, then age can be the factor to determine this. By age 12 most people have lost all their deciduous (baby or first) teeth. Adult teeth have replaced them.Then come the second molars around this time. Wisdom teeth (3rd molars) may follow around age 16-18. Clinical exam and x-ray imaging can conclusively determine this.
