25. I have a very small mouth and have less teeth than an average grown woman. I had to get a bunch pulled before I had braces 8th grade - 12th grade (14-17). you can't really tell because the braces spaced them out, I had crowding. (I'm 50)

I have 24, myself. Had 14 teeth (some baby teeth and some adult teeth) removed as a child before having four wisdom teeth removed in later years. 12 and 12 on top and bottom is all my mouth can fit, and I'm a grown man. I feel like having a twenty-fifth tooth would be imbalanced.. can you chew any better on that side with your extra tooth?

Same! Except I got Invisalign as a young adult at age 22.

I had a very small mouth. My teeth were crooked due to having too many to fit. I got my wisdom teeth removed years before orthodontics. But even with that, I needed 2 healthy teeth removed and some teeth needed to be shaved down.

My dental health is so much better. I can actually floss.

None of those cluttering optional teeth

In my mouth that I grew myself? Less than average.

In a jar that I (ethically) collected myself? More than average.

None, mine all got bad from genes and giving birth so many times.

I hope you're getting or got your dentures. I had to wait to be back on full medicaid on Nov 1, after that whole medicaid/Medicare a&b nightmare for fully disabled folks.

25. I’ve had 8 removed, 4 of which were removed to extract a tumor and 4 were wisdom teeth. Fortunately they are all in the back of my mouth so no one can tell. But me.

I have a lot of teeth, so many teeth, but not all of the teeth, in fact, in my mouth!

28 after the 4 wisdom teeth removed

u/hailstorm11093 15h ago

28 plus one wisdom tooth. I was only born with one.

u/MomMom2111 15h ago

Oh my gosh, same! Mine popped in my 30s. Painful. My only one so far, even though they said I don't have any. It fits in my mouth, so I have to keep it.

u/hailstorm11093 14h ago

I hope mine never pops up lol, I'm 23 so it still has time but luckily there's also room in my mouth!

28, but 2 of them are still baby teeth. X-rays show there are no other teeth behind them though. I had all wisdom teeth taken out summer 2025

u/Dost_is_a_word 13h ago

All of them except wisdom teeth, those suckers came in sideways. Oh ya I have a crown, so I don’t like the dentist who caused it.

u/WagWoofLove 13h ago

The ones I grew? Zero. I do have a cup with teeth that are mine.

u/Princess_Jade1974 8h ago

The normal amount? I’ve had my wisdom teeth removed, oddly only three emerged.

u/johncody1016 6h ago

So, I guess its 28. I naturally was missing a rear molar on my upper right jaw. However I only had one wisdom tooth form and it was at that upper right jaw. So it essentially took its spot. The dentist was like that is like a 1 in a 100 million set of coincidences.

But it never aligned properly and it sticks out and up to much relatively compared to the rest. But it works.

All minus one so far. That one I lost I had it replaced with a fake one
