Do you have to lose all of your baby teeth?

Question

i would like to thank everybody who answered

Answer 1

Well I had a baby tooth that did not have an adult tooth under it (that makes me a mutant... sweet!) so technically I would not have lost it naturally. But my dentist decided to have it pulled because he was afraid that it would get cavaties easier and cause me problems later in life. I'm not entirely sure, but I think you will lose all your baby teeth if you have the correct amount of adult teeth. Hope this helped:)

Answer 2

only if you have adult teeth pushing your baby teeth up

Answer 3

yes,

because if you don't, your adult teeth will grow under them and force you to have the baby teeth taken out

Answer 4

My friend still has two of her baby teeth (age 28) as she does not have any adult teeth to replace them! So I guess the answer is no unless you have all your adult teeth then they will push the baby teeth out!

Answer 5

Every now and then, somebody will have to have his or her baby teeth wired into place. This is because a few people do not actually have permanent teeth. A friend of mine has this problem. So, in her case, she wanted to lose as few baby teeth as possible!

But for everybody else, it's a good idea to have your baby teeth extracted if they don't come out for you when you wiggle and all that good stuff. If you don't get them out, your permanent teeth will push them out of the way. Mine did, and I had to have frickin' braces because of it.
