Our relationship with teeth is uneven, messy and grim

Interesting. I have 30 teeth and I know some people can have 28, but I was not aware you can go beyond that.

? I've got 34 technically. Behind my wisdom teeth I have little buds of teeth which can never surface (not nearly the size of a full wisdom tooth/molar) Supernumerary I believe it's called. I happen to have a pretty long jaw, so still have my full set of wisdoms surfaced.

How do you get 30? I have 31, but that's because I have only 3 front ones on the bottom due to an anomaly.

I have no bottom wisdom teeth. Never had them. IIRC any combination of 28-32 is relatively common.
