If you’re curious about the teeth names chart, wonder no more! This handy chart shows the names of the teeth in the upper and lower jaw and their corresponding numbers, from 1 (the one tooth) to 32 (the third molar). This chart makes it easy to understand how the teeth are numbered, how they relate to each other, and how they correspond to your mouth’s right-side-up orientation. Be sure to print this chart out and keep it by your toothbrush or next to your bathroom mirror so you can reference it as you brush your teeth each morning and night!
Tooth Name Section
Most people know that we have 32 total teeth, but did you know that each tooth has a unique name? The teeth in the upper jaw are called incisors (8 total), canines (4 total), premolars (8 total), and molars (12 total). The teeth in the lower jaw are named the same, but they are mirror images of the top teeth. Keep reading to learn more about the numbering system for teeth!
1. Incisors – There are eight incisors on both the top and bottom jaws, with one on either side of the mouth for a total of 16 teeth. 2. Canines – These canine teeth usually appear at around six months old, though some babies may get them as early as four months old or as late as 12 months old. We have four canines on both the top and bottom jaws, with two on either side of the mouth for a total of 8 teeth. 3. Premolars – There are eight premolars on both the top and bottom jaws, with two on either side of the mouth for a total of 16 teeth.
- Molars – There are twelve molars on both the top and bottom jaws, with three on either side of the mouth for a total of 36 teeth. 5. When counting from one tooth to another there is an even number in the front row of your mouth and an odd number in the back row. For example, if you look straight ahead into your mirror, start counting from left to right: You will see two incisors followed by three premolars followed by four molars. 6. With this guide, it should be easier to remember which numbers go where when taking care of your oral health routine.
Tooth Number Section
When numbering teeth, start with the two upper incisors (front teeth), which are labeled I. The next tooth to the right is called a canine tooth, or C, followed by the premolars, or P. Finally, you have your molars, which are simply labeled M. Upper teeth usually have 20 teeth, while lower teeth usually only have 16. If you notice that one of your front teeth is abnormally short, it may be due to injury or gum disease. You should schedule an appointment with your dentist if you believe that this may be the case. Remember to brush and floss regularly so that you can avoid plaque buildup on your teeth, which can lead to cavities and other oral health problems.

Tooth Shape Section
Most people know that there are four different types of teeth: incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. But did you know that each type of tooth has a specific name? Here is a comprehensive chart of the names and numbers of teeth. A given person will have 32 teeth (4 x 8).
There are 8 incisors (4 on top and 4 on bottom), 12 premolars (6 on top and 6 on bottom), 16 molars (8 on top and 8 on bottom). The maxillary arch contains the following teeth: 4 upper incisors, 2 upper canines, 1 upper first premolar, 2 upper second premolars, 3 upper third premolars, 2 lower first molars. The mandibular arch contains these teeth: 4 lower incisors, 2 lower canines, 1 lower first premolar (a wisdom tooth), 2 lower second premolars (wisdom teeth), 3 lower third premolars.

Whether you’re considering dental implants or simply want to know the name of a tooth, it helps to know the anatomy of teeth. In this guide, we’ll go over the names and numbers of teeth so that you can be an informed patient.
There are 32 adult teeth in total- 28 permanent teeth and 4 wisdom teeth. The chart below shows the 8 different types of permanent teeth, their names, and their numbers.
The History Of Dental Naming
Do you know the difference between your incisors and your molars? Your cuspids? Your bicuspids? What about your wisdom teeth – are they really all that wise? The truth is, the names of our teeth have a long and interesting history. From centuries ago to modern times, it seems like every few decades or so there’s been a name change or two. In ancient times, the Greeks named some of their teeth in honor of gods; other cultures used more natural descriptors like incisor (cutting), canine (dog-like), premolar (previous), and molar (grinding). Nowadays we use dental abbreviations like 1st Molar, which stands for 1st Main Molar.
These are then followed by an abbreviation for the tooth type, such as 2/2 for 2nd Premolar on both sides. We also commonly see this expressed as 14/14 where 14 refers to the number of teeth on each side, and ’12/12′ would mean 12 teeth on each side without counting wisdom teeth. If a dentist mentions upper 6 incisors they may be referring to both upper left and right incisors – but this is not always true! There can be confusion when dentists say upper 6. To clarify if they’re referring to both sides or only one side, ask them if they mean left upper 6 or right upper 6.
Dental Anatomy Charts – How To Read Them
Dental anatomy charts are tools used by dentists to understand the structure of teeth. The charts typically feature both the names and numbers of teeth. While most people are familiar with the four main types of teeth (incisors, canines, premolars, and molars), there are actually many more types of teeth. Knowing how to read a dental anatomy chart can help you better understand your own mouth and dental health. Use this helpful list to brush up on the names and numbers of teeth. A – mandibular incisor
B – maxillary incisor
C – mandibular canine
D – maxillary canine
E – mandibular premolar
F – maxillary premolar
G – mandibular molar
Dental Anatomy Charts – Where They Came From
In 18th century France, one physician in particular is credited with producing the first comprehensive dental anatomy chart. His name was Pierre Fauchard, and he is now considered the Father of Modern Dentistry. In 1728, he published a book called The Surgeon Dentist which included a detailed diagram of teeth. This was the first time that someone had taken the time to sit down and label all of the different parts of a tooth. He also pointed out how these anatomical structures were important for chewing food properly. Fauchard’s work helped change how dentists trained their students – it became mandatory for them to learn how the human mouth works before they were allowed to practice on anyone else.
