===Permanent teeth===
Among [[permanent teeth]], 16 are found in the maxilla and 16 in the mandible, for a total of 32. The dental formula is {{DentalFormula|upper=2.1.2.3|lower=2.1.2.3}}.  Permanent human teeth are numbered in a [[boustrophedon]]ic sequence.

The maxillary teeth are the [[maxillary central incisor]]s (teeth 8 and 9 in the diagram), [[maxillary lateral incisor]]s (7 and 10), [[maxillary canine]]s (6 and 11), [[maxillary first premolar]]s (5 and 12), [[maxillary second premolar]]s (4 and 13), [[maxillary first molar]]s (3 and 14), [[maxillary second molar]]s (2 and 15), and [[maxillary third molar]]s (1 and 16). The mandibular teeth are the [[mandibular central incisor]]s (24 and 25), [[mandibular lateral incisor]]s (23 and 26), [[mandibular canine]]s (22 and 27), [[mandibular first premolar]]s (21 and 28), [[mandibular second premolar]]s (20 and 29), [[mandibular first molar]]s (19 and 30), [[mandibular second molar]]s (18 and 31), and [[mandibular third molar]]s (17 and 32). Third molars are commonly called "[[wisdom teeth]]" and usually emerge at ages 17 to 25.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/wisdom-teeth/symptoms-causes/syc-20373808 |title=Impacted wisdom teeth |publisher=[[Mayo Clinic]]|access-date=5 March 2022}}</ref> These molars may never erupt into the mouth or form at all.{{Citation needed|date=March 2022}} When they do form, they often must be [[Dental extraction|removed]]. If any additional teeth form—for example, fourth and fifth molars, which are rare—they are referred to as [[hyperdontia|supernumerary teeth]] (hyperdontia). Development of fewer than the usual number of teeth is called [[hypodontia]].

There are small differences between the teeth of males and females, with male teeth along with the male jaw tending to be larger on average than female teeth and jaw. There are also differences in the internal dental tissue proportions, with male teeth consisting of proportionately more dentine while female teeth have proportionately more enamel.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Sorenti |first1=Mark |last2=Martinón-Torres |first2=María |last3=Martín-Francés |first3=Laura |last4=Perea-Pérez |first4=Bernardo |title=Sexual dimorphism of dental tissues in modern human mandibular molars |journal=American Journal of Physical Anthropology |language=en |volume=169 |issue=2 |pages=332–340 |doi=10.1002/ajpa.23822 |pmid=30866041 |issn=1096-8644 |year=2019|s2cid=76662620 }}</ref>
