Most kids start losing baby teeth at around age 6, but anything from about 4 to 7 years old can still be normal.

Typical age range

  • Most common : First loose tooth appears around age 6.
  • Normal early/late : Some kids start as early as 4 and some as late as 7–8, especially if they got their baby teeth late.
  • The whole baby-to-adult tooth transition usually finishes around ages 11–12.

Which teeth fall out first?

  • The first to go are usually the lower front teeth (lower central incisors), followed by the upper front teeth.
  • After that, side front teeth, then canines and molars loosen and fall out over the next several years.

When to check with a dentist

  • If no baby teeth are loose by age 8, or tooth loss seems very uneven, it is worth asking a pediatric dentist.
  • Sudden pain, significant swelling, or bleeding around a loose tooth should be checked promptly.
