A Question for a Dentist?!
Question:
A Question for a Dentist?
Could someone tell me how Dentists number all of the teeth.
Is there a place were I can view a chart with these numbers?
Thanks a lot!
:D
Answers:
Your top right wisdom tooth is #1, then you could all the way around to the top left arch to the wisdom tooth. That is #16.
You then move down to the bottom left wisdom tooth (#17) and come back to the bottom right wisdom tooth (#32).
So here's a couple of key teeth marked off for you
top right 2nd molar - #2 (since most people don't have wisdom teeth)
top right 2nd premolar - #4
top right canine - #6
top right central incisor - #8\
top left lateral incisor - #10
top left 1st premolar - #12
top left 1st molar - #14
tope left wisdom tooth (3rd molar) - #16
bottom left 3rd molar (wisdom tooth) - #17
bottom left 2nd molar #18
bottom left 2nd premolar - #20
bottom left canine - #22
bottom left central incisor - #24
bottom right lateral incisor - #26
bottom right 1st premolar - #28
bottom right 1st molar - #30
bottom right 3rd molar (wisdom tooth) - #32
Here's a website with the arch listed. :)
