Your baby’s primary teeth, also called baby teeth, begin to loosen and fall out around the age of six. For most children, loss of primary teeth happens in a predictable pattern, and permanent teeth replace the ones falling out.
The bottom middle teeth, called lower central incisors, fall out first. They are followed by the top middle teeth, also called upper central incisors. The remaining teeth your child loses include:
Lateral incisors
First molars
Canines‌
Second molars
‌Usually, your child’s primary teeth come out naturally as the permanent teeth push their way up into place. If your child’s baby teeth decay or break from an accident, a dentist may need to pull them out. When this happens, permanent teeth may come in earlier than expected. Early eruption of permanent teeth can lead to crowding, causing the teeth to come in crooked.
