These teeth begin to loosen and fall out on their own to make room for permanent teeth at about the age of 6. Some children begin to lose their teeth as early as 4 or as late as 7, but in general the earlier they come in the earlier they will begin to fall out.
The teeth usually fall out in the same order in which they erupted and in most cases the sequence of the tooth loss is much more important than the precise age at which the tooth loss occurs. There is usually a basic pattern for the loss of baby teeth: first the two bottom front ones lower central incisors , followed by the two top front ones upper central incisors and then the lateral incisors, first molars, canines and second molars.
The two charts at the end of this blog post provide the average times for the eruption and shedding of baby or primary or milk teeth and the eruption of adult or secondary or permanent teeth. Remember that these times are merely averages and some kids lose them quicker and some lose them slower than what you will find in these charts.
The primary matter to focus on is the order in which the teeth are lost. That being said, if baby teeth are not lost in the correct order or if a baby tooth is lost and is not replaced by a permanent one within three months, there could be a number of issues that I can diagnose and treat at my St. Baby teeth will later be lost one by one. This makes space for adult permanent teeth. By the time children are teenagers, they usually have all of their adult teeth. The last four teeth that come in are the wisdom teeth.
The charts below tell the names of the baby and adult teeth. The pictures show when each tooth usually comes in and is lost.
