At what age do children usually start losing their teeth?

Everyone will go through the process of tooth loss and tooth growth, and everyone remembers this process vividly, so many parents want to fully understand at what age children usually start to lose their teeth. The following content provides a detailed introduction. For many parents, if they want to have a comprehensive understanding, they can have a comprehensive understanding of the following content.

People grow teeth twice in their life, namely deciduous teeth and permanent teeth. There are 20 deciduous teeth, which usually start to erupt around 6 months old and are fully grown at 2-3 years old. There are 28-32 permanent teeth (the number of wisdom teeth is 0-4), which usually start to erupt around 6 years old and 28 are fully grown at 12-13 years old (the number of wisdom teeth varies from person to person). Therefore, the tooth replacement period is usually between 6 and 12 years old. There are certain rules for tooth replacement. Simply put, it is a certain time, a certain order, left-right symmetry, and lower-first-upper-lasting. "Left-right symmetry and lower-first-upper-lasting" refers to teeth with the same name.

The physiological shedding of the first deciduous tooth usually occurs around the age of 6, but it can also occur as early as 4 years old, or as late as 7-8 years old, so there is no need to worry. Naturally fallen deciduous teeth have no roots and the fallen surface appears eroded. Parents should pay attention to observe and not confuse them with broken roots of deciduous teeth.

There are two different opinions about which permanent tooth the baby will grow first. One is that the first permanent molar that usually grows around the age of 6 grows close to the last deciduous molar, called the sixth-year molar, which erupts slightly earlier than or at the same time as the lower central incisor. Another theory is that the baby's first two middle front teeth to be replaced are in the lower row. Dentists say that this may be different for each baby. Then, the baby will grow upper central incisors and lower lateral incisors when they are 7-8 years old, upper lateral incisors when they are 8-9 years old, first and second canines when they are 9-12 years old, and permanent canines when they are 10-12 years old.

The above introduces in detail at what age children start to lose their teeth. After a comprehensive understanding, I believe many parents have a better understanding. Therefore, after a comprehensive understanding, in order to ensure that their children's teeth will grow healthier and neater when they lose their teeth, they must pay more attention to their children during this stage of tooth loss.
