Although teeth aren't visible at birth, both the deciduous and permanent teeth are forming beneath the gums. By the time a child is 3 years old, he or she has a set of 20 deciduous teeth, 10 in the lower and 10 in the upper jaw. Each jaw has four incisors, two canines, and four molars.The phase during which permanent teeth develop usually lasts for about 15 years as the jaw steadily grows into its adult form. From ages 6 to 9, the incisors and first molars start to come in. Between ages 10 and 12, the first and second premolars, as well as the canines, erupt. From 12 to 13, the second molars come in. The wisdom teeth (third molars) erupt between the ages of 17 and 21. Sometimes there isn't room in a person's mouth for all the permanent teeth. If this happens, the wisdom teeth may not come through at all. Overcrowding of the teeth is one of the reasons people get braces during their teenage years.

I don't know how many teeth you have, but I don't have any. I lost all my teeth last year and I'm still waiting to get some fake ones.
