At what age should childrens teeth start to get loose and new ones start to come in?
Question:
Answers:
Here is a chart that shows you the age range and teeth and when they will be lost and the new ones erupt. Keep in mind this is an age range, so kids are on the early side and others later.

varies... about 6 to 8 for the first ones... about 11 to 12 for the last "baby teeth" to fall out.
I believe the average is somewhere around 4-7 years of age, but it can vary from that range. Everybody starts at a different time.
Usually between ages 5 and 6, a little earlier for girls than
for boys.
It depends on when they started cutting their first teeth. All my children's first tooth came through when they were 6 months old. They were all 6 years old when they lost their first tooth. We saved their little tooth by the way. Each has their own tiny little tooth in a tiny little box in an envelope with their name and the date they lost the tooth. Yeah, I'm very sentimental.
If everything goes according to plan, they will start to lose their teeth around six starting with the bottom middle ones, then a year later they will lose their top middle ones. Girls tend to lose their teeth earlier than boys.
