It consists of 20 teeth, made up of incisors, canines, and molars only. Between the ages of six and 12 both adult and milk teeth are present, i.e. there is a mixed dentition. The complete adult (or permanent) dentition is usually present by the age of 21: it consists of 32 teeth, made up of incisors, canines, premolars, and molars.

Dentition refers to the arrangement, number, and type of teeth present in the mouth. In young children, the primary dentition consists of 20 teeth, including incisors, canines, and molars. These primary teeth are gradually replaced by the secondary dentition, also known as permanent dentition, between the ages of 6 and 13. The secondary dentition consists of 32 teeth, including incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. The third molars, commonly referred to as wisdom teeth, typically erupt between the ages of 18 and 25, or even later in some cases. However, there are instances where these molars may not erupt at all.
