Which teeth do children loose?

Children typically lose their primary teeth, also known as baby teeth or deciduous teeth. These are the first set of teeth that erupt, and they are eventually replaced by permanent teeth.

Here are the teeth that children lose, in the order they usually fall out:

* Central incisors (front teeth) - ages 6-8

* Lateral incisors (front teeth next to the central incisors) - ages 7-9

* First molars (back teeth) - ages 9-11

* Canines (cuspid teeth) - ages 10-12

* Second molars (back teeth next to the first molars) - ages 10-12

It's important to note:

* The timing of tooth loss can vary slightly between individuals.

* If a child hasn't lost any teeth by age 7, they should consult a dentist.

* If a tooth is lost prematurely, it's important to talk to a dentist about potential issues.
