A member asked:
At which age will my son start losing teeth?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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.

Starting at 5 or 6: Children start losing teeth at 5 or 6 years of age. It is important to keep baby teeth healthy and free of cavities as unhealthy baby teeth can lead to unhealthy permanent adult teeth.
