Is it normal for my 13 year old to still have three baby teeth?

Children often: Can have congenitally missing permanent teeth and hence they over-retain their primary teeth. Make sure your child is seen by a dentist and orthodontist to monitor this. Once your child is 16 - 18 years old, he/she can be evaluated by your dentist / oral surgeon for dental implants to replace the missing teeth.

Might be: Kids mature at different rates. You should have your child examined by a dentist to make sure that all is ok.

Problem or not: May just be delayed exchange. May be eruption anomaly such as missing permanent tooth. Ask your dentist to check at your child's next regular examination, and to refer to an orthodontic specialist if there is anything out of the ordinary.
