Hi, when it comes to smooth cuts on wood with a circular saw, does the number of teeth the blade has make a difference?

Yes but...only if the rest of the parts are in good tune, let me explain.
Run out (spinning blade wobble) will cause each preceding tooth to cut a marginally off line cut to the one before it, resulting in fine ridges, rough cuts. So the first thing to do is check how much run out your mounted blade has and attempt to rectify it. Simply pushing a chalk stick held firmly to the table to the revolving blade plate somewhere behind the teeth (be warned don't attempt this unless you're confident) gently until it just touches and gives a zing-zing-zing sound, indicating that you have touched the nearest part of the wobble and marked the blade plate. Next without releasing the chalk switch of the saw, you can now see where the plate is high, and inversely low. Packing the low at its touching point with the arbor with a piece of paper will correct this, and give a better cut...pinenot :)
