I just got my wisdom teeth out yesterday what tooth is your number 16 upper right left bottom right or left??


Answers: Your number 16 is the upper left. Your teeth are numbered starting on the upper right to upper left, lower left to lower right. 1-16 top (going right to left) and 17-32 bottom (going left to right).
Upper right side at the very back
#16 is your upper left, why what happened.
The numbering of teeth from 1 to 32 is the american way of numbering teeth. so 16 is your left wisdom tooth.

In australia and UK and alot of other countries we start in the center. Your mouth is divided into four starting at your top right
Top right quater = 1 Top left quater = 2

Lower right 1/4 = 4 Lower left 1/4 = 3

Then the teeth are numbered starting from the middle starting at 1 and 8 is the very back so starting from the wisdom tooth on your top right it would be 1-8, 1-7, 1-6, 1-5, 1-4, 1-3, 1-2, 11 = your center tooth on the right. then it starts on your left from the center 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28.

So in australia 16 would mean your top right 6th tooth from the center which is your first molar.... that could get confusing :)
