Question 1

what is the age that kids lose their first baby teeth?

Accepted Answer

5-7 Years: Most children will start losing teeth about six years of age. As with most things this varies from person to person.

Question 2

my son just lost his first tooth (age 7). is it normal that it bled for a few minutes?

Accepted Answer

Definitely!: The blood vessels that supplied the tooth had to separate from the tooth; that's where the bleeding came from.  If  you wrap an ice cube in a wet washcloth, it'll help stop the bleeding and help any pain. Good luck with the 'tooth fairy' tonight!

Question 3

at what age do you lose your last baby tooth?

Accepted Answer

First ones by age 6: And they usually fall out in the order they came in. Sometimes girls loos them a bit earlier. You continue to loose your "baby" teeth until about 12 or 13 years.

Question 4

please help! what is the average age for a child to get his first loose tooth?

Accepted Answer

Eruption Charts: Around the age of 6 or 7. See the following website for the eruption charts for primary (baby) and secondary (permanent) teeth. Be aware that the &quot;average&quot; times can vary widely. I hope all the children and adults are getting their regular dental checkups. http://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/az-topics/e/eruption-charts.

Question 5

what is considered a healthy, typical age for a child to get his first loose tooth?

Accepted Answer

5 1/2: Usually the lower anterior central incisors.

Question 6

please tell me what age should your first molar tooth fall out?

Accepted Answer

Age 9-10: A child will loose his or her first primary molar between ages 9 to 10.  Girls are normally quicker to develop and loose their teeth.  However, everyone has their own normal.  The sequence of which teeth are lost in order is the most important factor.

Question 7

is there a way to prevent dental bone loss when a child loses a permanent tooth prematurely and cannot get an implant because of young age?

Accepted Answer

Bone Graft: Bone grafting into the extraction site at the time of the extraction has been shown to help preserve the ridge for later implant placement. Discuss this with the dentist or surgeon who will be extracting the tooth.

Question 8

what is a normal age to start losing teeth?

Accepted Answer

6 years: Children lose their first baby teeth around age 6 years when the permanent teeth start coming in.  They will get a total of 28 teeth (not counting any wisdom teeth).  In the teen years, some kids have 2-4 teeth pulled before getting orthodontic braces.  Years later, adults lose teeth through accidents, tooth decay, etc. . .  The average number of remaining teeth at age 50-64 is 22-23 teeth.

Question 9

at which age will my son start losing teeth?

Accepted Answer

Varies: A child's baby teeth (primary teeth) begin to loosen and fall out on their own to make room for permanent teeth at about age 6. Timing can vary, though, and girls generally lose baby teeth earlier than do boys. The last baby teeth typically fall out by age 12 or 13.

Question 10

at what age do people start to lose their teeth?

Accepted Answer

Depends... : Children at 5 or 6 years of age ... 
If you are referring to adults due to cavities, it can start amazingly early.  Sadly without proper dental care loss of adult teeth can happen rapidly.
