Which teeth do children lose when they're younger? All of them? Or some of them?

My son is going to be 10 and he asked me this morning if he's done losing his teeth. I hate to admit that I didn't know, lol. Are children born with ALL baby teeth, or are some teeth they're born with permanent?

This website shows primary dentition and the ages the baby teeth come in. Click on the tab for Permanent Dentition on the yellow panel on the left of the page to see the ages the adult teeth generally erupt. All primary teeth are generally replaced by adult teeth (except in some cases where the patient is congenitally missing some teeth in which case heroic measures are taken to save the baby teeth).


Obviously the ages indicated in the sample are just a rough guide and can vary considerably in individuals.





We have 20 primary teeth and 32 adult teeth (including 4 wisdom teeth that don't erupt until late teens). If your son has lost all his baby teeth and got all his adult teeth he will have 28 in total right now.

Reply:Human beings have 2 sets of teeth, the baby teeth (milk teeth or primary teeth) which you have until 5 or 6 years old or so. Then you get the 32 permanent teeth. The last four molars (wisdom teeth can wait until the late teens to come in.


Tell you son that if he doesn't brush and floss, he is not done losing teeth but that any he looses now will not be replaced. At least not without paying alot of money.
Reply:The children's dentition consists of 24 teeth; an adult has 32. All of the baby teeth are eventually replaced. I don't recall at what age the last of the baby teeth are usually lost, but it's around ten; ask the dentist on your next visit.
