This may be a weird uestion but which tooth is tooth # 3 (I'm in the U.S.)? And do they count your wisdom teeth even if you don't have them?

Every tooth is accounted for. Whether it is present or not! There are many different ways that dentist count teeth, but usually they use a method called the universal method. Your teeth are numbered from upper right to upper left. Then lower left to lower right. If this is the method that your doctor uses ( probably ) then #3 is your first molar, the third tooth from the back on the upper right if your wisdom teeth are present. If not, it's the second tooth from the back.

Wisdom teeth are teeth Numbers 1, 16, 17 and 32. They are counted, whether you have them or not. no other teeth will be called those numbers. If you DON'T have your wisdom teeth, #3 is on the upper right, second from the last tooth. It is a first permanent molar.

I guess next to tooth #2? Everyone has wisdom teeth but they may not have come out yet. I'm not sure what you mean by counting the, cause everyone has 4 of them.

Brushing 3 times a day wears out the enamal on your teeth and makes them more vulnerable to cavities. Twice a day is recomended by dental hygenists.

start with your right central incisor then go back 5 teeth.
incisor, lateral incisor, canine, 2 premolars, then the first molar. that's #3.
