What is the total number of teeth in the upper jaw of an adult dog?

18 20 22 24

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

In adult dogs, the upper jaw (maxillary) total is 20 teeth. This comes from 10 teeth on each side: 3 incisors, 1 canine, 4 premolars, and 2 molars per side, so 10 per side times 2 sides equals 20. The full adult dentition is 42 teeth (20 upper, 22 lower), but the question focuses on how many teeth are in the upper jaw, which is 20.
