At what age do a child's teeth start falling out?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Around 6 years old : A good generalization is that children begin to lose teeth around the age of 6. There are many exceptions to this rule, both ways. I have had patients start to lose their teeth as early as 3 and half and as late at 8 and half. Every child is different!

At age 6: The front teeth start coming out at about 6. The back teeth usually start coming out at about 11 or 12. These are only averages. If your kids are out of this range there may not be a problem. Have your dentist take some x-rays.
