Not everyone loses their baby teeth. Losing baby teeth is a rite of passage, not to mention a small source of income for most kids. By age 3, the average child has a full set of 20 temporary teeth. These little chiclets loosen and eventually fall out as the permanent teeth below start to erupt. Children typically start losing teeth around 5 or 6 and finish in their early teens.
While the average age might be 5 1/2 or 6 to lose the first tooth, 4 is not unheard of, he explains. Some kids don't lose their first tooth until as late as 7, though. More important than the timing of tooth loss is the sequence, he says. The first teeth to fall out are normally the lower front pair. If a 4-year-old loses one of these teeth, it's probably normal development, just on the early side.
