The answer is 32. Adults end up with 32 teeth.

There are even special kinds of teeth that do certain things for us. The teeth in the front of your mouth are called incisors and they cut up the food you eat into smaller bits. You also have four cuspids (also called canine teeth) that have pointed edges to help tear food. Then there are four premolars that crush the food, and twelve molars in the back to grind it. All of these teeth make the food you eat much easier to digest once it gets into your stomach.

Correct!

The answer is False. Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to grow – often not appearing until between the ages of 17 and 21.

Most people have their wisdom teeth taken out so that their other teeth stay straight and to lessen pain from having new, unnecessary teeth come in.

The answer is False. You can actually have a lot more than that.
