At what age do children usually start to lose their teeth?

A child's every move is what parents care about the most. Many parents lack knowledge about their children's growth and development, so once something abnormal happens to their children, they become very worried and don't know how to deal with it. Therefore, we recommend that parents and friends should have more information about children's growth and development. Below we will introduce at what age children usually begin to change their teeth.

In general, the teeth in the lower half of children will fall out before the upper half, presenting a symmetrical situation on the left and right. Therefore, at about the age of 6, the child's lower deciduous central incisors gradually become loose and fall out, and the lower permanent central incisors and first permanent molars also begin to gradually erupt.

Afterwards, the deciduous canines and bicuspids will slowly fall out one by one and be replaced by corresponding permanent teeth. When children reach the age of 12-14, all their deciduous teeth will be replaced, and then the permanent teeth will grow separately. The second molars grow out between the ages of 12 and 14, while the third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, only start to grow after adulthood.

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

4 first molars at 6 years old

6-7 years old: 4 central incisors

8-9 years old: 4 lateral incisors

10-year-old first pair of canines 4

11 years old, 4 single canines

12 years old, 4 second canines

13 years old, 4 second molars

As for at what age children start to change their teeth, babies will start to change their teeth from the age of 5, starting with the front teeth. Nowadays, children with good nutrition will delay the time of tooth change. As long as the baby's calcium is sufficient, the baby's tooth change will not be affected. Pay attention to the child's diet and daily life during the stage of children's teeth change, and be careful not to eat too hard food.
