How many teeth should my child have?

Q:

How many teeth should my 3.5 year old child have? (Question from Child/Toddler Day at the Dentist Program-Sat.March 27, 2010)

A:

A child that has all of his/her primary teeth should have 20 teeth total. Just remember their are always exceptions where a tooth may not form or an extra (supernumerary) tooth is formed.

Great question! Thanks!
