Anybody know how dentists number your teeth?

[coolred]

I have a couple fillings and a crown I need done. I have the sheet specfiying which teeth they are, but I have no idea which is which. Does anybody?


The paper says #9 DLF-C
#14 MOL-C
#19 BU/CRN

I though maybe MOL was for molar, and maybe BU was for bicuspid, but no idea if thats right since I don't know what DLF would be? I am also not sure if there is a standard for the way your teeth or number or if each dentist does it thier own way. But I would think there is a standard, so if anyone knows which tteth those are, please let me know. If it helps, I still have my wisdom teeth, but they have yet to actually come in.

Thanks

dude, have you done a google search on it? i remember looking this up like 2 years ago and i found it by a google search......of course if you're at university and they have a dentistry school with a medical library, that would be grandiose....but google it!

all i know is that #19 is a molar on the left hand side bottom....

Now I use google every day, but why is it that I couldn't think of using it for this. Thank you.

Okay after googling it from my bottom left side the farthest back is 17, the next is 18 and the next is 19 and so on. So it would be the 3rd from the back. The reason I ask is, I just started noticing a weird feeling in not the farthest back one, but the back one. I can't say it hurts really, but it doesn't feel right. But according to that chart the one they are corwning would be the one in front of that. Maybe does that chart include wisdom teeth? How many wisdom teeth do you have, 4 right? ONe on each side on the bottom and one on each side at the top?


AFter another quick trip on google, I see the number of wisdom teeth can vary from person to person. Hmmm.
