Answer 1

Canines,incisors,premolar and molar and wisdom tooth come after 15-16

Answer 2

In our life time we have four types of Adult teeth,

they are:-

1) Incisors:  we have 8 incisors, our four front teeth on the top and bottom, these are sharp for holding and cutting food.

2) Canines: 4 canines are there. Canines are the sharp, pointed teeth that sit next to the incisors. Canines are effectively the corners of the mouth and perform the function of ripping and tearing food

3) Premolar: 8 premolars are there, they are bigger than the incisors and canines. They have many ridges and help chew and grind up food.

4): Molar: An adult has 12 molars, molars are rounded and used for grinding food into easily swallowed pieces. The smaller and sharper front teeth are used for biting and tearing food. Molars are designed to sustain great amounts of force from chewing, grinding, and clenching.
