Identifying your teeth is not taught in school. However there are ways to know them when we are writing them down.
The upper right central incisor (usually called the upper right one) will be written as 
in the UK (Palmer method) and 11 in the FDI notation. The Palmer method is popular in the UK and easy to understand for those trained in the UK as it is based on a grid of teeth as if looking at the patient. It is also easy to write on the record card but not so easy to write on a typewriter, and even harder to write using a word processor. -Source
