Loose tooth

While loose teeth are common for children whose adult teeth are growing in, they may be a cause for concern for adults. For help finding a local dental professional, search for a dentist near you.
==== Loose teeth in children ====
Most child start losing baby teeth around age 6 when their middle teeth, called incisors, become lose. They will continuously lose other teeth over the next few years ended with their back molars, which are usually lost around ages 10-12 and fully replaced with permanent teeth by age 13.
Children tend to wiggle their loose teeth to get them to fall out. Occasionally, if a primary tooth is not loosening sufficiently on its own, your child’s dentist may suggest extracting it.
If your child loses their baby teeth by decay or accident too early, it can cause problems with permanent teeth erupting too early. Your dentist will help you determine next steps in that scenario.
