    I had all mine up to 3 years ago. After a bad fall I lost 3 front teeth. After a lot of time, pain and money, I got implants, and I now have all my teeth again.

    29 real, and 3 false.

    I have all my own teeth ...spent a lot on them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    Have them all, never even had so much as a toothache in my life!

    However I did have a dream last week that 2 just fell out of my mouth, weird!

    Fell in a shower and hit my head off a toilet bowl a few years ago, four front teeth broke in pieces, one of the back ones cracked beyond repair. Implants in now and I'm smiling like Julia Roberts.

    Apparently that dreaming about teeth falling out is an anxiety thing.

    Or probably just a dream!

    I have all my normal teeth, 1 wisdom tooth on top and 2 bottom wisdom teeth that I have to have removed as there's no room for them to come up

    I just checked...I've loads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 722 ✭✭✭jeepers101


    32, although they probably consist more of fillings than teeth at this stage


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,129 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    I had 4 teeth removed for braces when I was a teenager and my wisdom teeth are impacted and unerupted so I only have 24

    :/ couldn't they not be put back in? Pretty sure if you had of went to A&E they could've saved them.

    I had to have all of my wisdom teeth removed. No room.

    Eh...28 and a half. I have half a wisdom tooth.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    All there, 2 wisdom teeth on the bottom as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,071 ✭✭✭Grab All Association


    I had to have all of my wisdom teeth removed. No room.

    I read somewhere that in a couple of hundred years us humans will have evolved further and will not develop wisdom teeth as teenager.

    Were they separate incidents or do you have a toilet bowl in the shower? :eek:

    I have roughly 28. I just counted them with my tongue. I've had 2 taken out near the back over the years.

    I'd say you could count again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,933 ✭✭✭holystungun9


    Just the one. God knows what I'll do if I lose ol' Chopper.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    Have pretty bad teeth(24 left), just got 3 wisdom teeth removed a few weeks ago. Have 'eye' teeth that stick out so a bit like Dracula. Those need straightened.

    28 and one partially erupted lower wisdom tooth.

    I lost a tooth following a very bad-tempered minor hurling game between our club and the ill-bred thugs who lined out for Athenry back in 1998. Our manager was a doctor, and the tooth was placed back in its socket on the sideline. I kept the tooth and we won the game.

    25 no idea how I miscounted so badly

    I've 27. I'd my 4 wisdom teeth removed about 11 years ago. It didn't hurt too much but I still hate my dentist check ups.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,792 ✭✭✭mohawk


    I got 8 teeth removed before I got my braces as a teenager so now I have 24. Just didn't have room for them all.


  • Posts: 4,520 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I counted them 3 times and got 3 different numbers so I'll go with 26. One of them is fake.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 448 ✭✭Mad_Dave


    28 - I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed a few years back.
    Just a single filling as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,994 ✭✭✭sullivlo


    Missing one. Dentist thought it was a baby tooth that was stuck so he removed it to leave space for the grown up tooth to come down.

    The grown up tooth never arrived :( so I'm missing a tooth.

    Rest are all my own work. No wisdomous teeth yet I don't think, and at 29 I doubt they'll come. If I'm not wise now it ain't gonna happen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,093 ✭✭✭markc1184


    28 - I had 4 teeth removed before I had my braces fitted.

    It's easy to mistake a molar for two different teeth if you're counting without looking at it.
