How many baby teeth does a child have?
As a set, the baby teeth are composed of a total of 20 individual teeth. These teeth are divided equally between the upper and lower arches (jaws). Each arch (top and bottom) will have 4 incisors (2 central and 2 lateral incisors) located at the center front of the mouth. Two cuspids (also termed canines or eyeteeth) lying just behind the incisors, one on each side. Furthest toward the rear of the mouth will be 4 molars (first and second molars), two on each side.
