When do children lose their teeth?

Every parent hopes that their children can have white and healthy teeth, so they pay special attention to children's tooth loss. We all know that children's tooth loss is the loss of their baby teeth and their replacement with new teeth. So when do children lose their teeth? Maybe many mothers don’t understand. Here I will introduce to you when children lose their teeth, I hope it will be helpful to you.

Normally, at the age of 6 to 7, the deciduous central incisor (central front tooth) of the mandible begins to shake and fall out, and soon the permanent central incisor grows in its place; at the same time, the first molar grows behind the second deciduous molar. After that, the other teeth were replaced one after another. The permanent monocuspids and bicuspids can only grow out after the deciduous teeth in the same position fall out. By the age of 12 to 13, all the deciduous teeth have fallen out and have been replaced by permanent teeth. After that, permanent teeth will grow separately: the second molar will grow behind the first molar at the age of 12 to 14, and the third molar will grow after the age of 18. It is normal for some people to not have third molars.

The order and timing of tooth replacement are roughly as follows:

Number of teeth and time of tooth replacement

4 central incisors 6-7 years old

4 lateral incisors 8-9 years old

First pair of canines 4 at 10 years old

Single canine 4 11 years old

Second canines 4 12 years old

First molars 4 at age 6

4 second molars at 13 years old
