What age do u expect baby teeth to start falling off?

6 years: Baby teeth roughly start falling off at about 6 years of age. It's fairly easy to remember because they show up roughly at 6 months of age.

Range: Age 4-7: Children will normally begin to lose their baby teeth between the ages of 4-7--it's a "bell curve" averaging around the early 6. The lower two front teeth should be the first to go. As long as the order of the tooth loss and adult replacement proceeds normally, the actual age of loss shouldn't matter. Enjoy!

Genetic control: Probably at the same age their parents did. Girls usually enter the transitional dentition about age 6, boys at age 7. The order, timing, and size-relationship are all extremely important in successful transition from baby to permanent teeth. Important to have your child seen by an orthodontist by age 7. Sometimes guidance is required.
