mouth, i have 32 teeth total and a 5 inch tongue!.

Answers:
Yes, it's completely normal!. Humans normally develop 32 adult teeth, 8 in each quadrant (2 incisors + 1 canine + 2 premolars + 3 molars)!. Some people don't develop all their teeth, or have to get some extractions due to crowding or decay, or have some impacted teeth (especially the 3rd molars, aka wisdom teeth)!.

We also have 25 deciduous teeth (aka baby/milk teeth), 5 in each quadrant - 2 incisors + 1 canine + 2 molars!. The crossover between deciduous and adult teeth doesn't happen all at once, it occurs over several years - called the mixed dentition phase!. The last of the baby teeth is lost at about 13 years of age!. You might have some strange set-ups of teeth up until then as the changeover happens!.

I don't have any information on the average length of tongues!. Well done for measuring yours though!Www@Answer-Health@Com
