Loosing Teeth

Age of First Loss

Typically, a child loses his first tooth between the ages of 6 and 7 years of age. If a child was early to teethe as a baby or attained all his baby teeth early, he may be prone to lose his first tooth as early as age five. According to pediatric experts, most children lose the two bottom front teeth first. The next ones to go are usually the top two front teeth. Other patterns may occur, but this is the most common sequence. Generally, children have lost all of their baby teeth by the time they are 12 or 13 years of age.
