How many molars do kids lose ????

Question

my cousin is losing her 2nd pair of molars and she isn't sure if she is supposed to be losing it or not ???

Answer 1

This is how back teeth come in:

The first molars that children get are called "pre-molars" and they come through at around 24 months of age. They are baby teeth and will eventually fall out to be replaced by adult teeth. The first 'adult' molars come through at around 6years of age, the next lot at about 12yrs & the last lot (if they make it past the gum line) are the wisdom teeth which come between the ages of 17 - 21 generally.

Answer 2

You lose 2 molars per quadrant, so 8 baby molars in total. But it can look confusing because the child will get the 1st adult molar behind the baby molars before the baby molars will come out.  The baby molars will be replaced by the premolars.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 3

You lose all your baby teeth, including molars.

If you don't brush your teeth, you end up losing the adult ones too.

Answer 4

a normal set of milk teeth or baby teeth has a total of 8 premolars (also called bicuspid teeth), 4 on top and 4 on the bottom, all will be replaced by molars after they fall out. some children however do have some extra teeth or not enough, an x-ray or scan will tell you that.

Answer 5

Uhh, yeah you lose all your teeth I believe.  I did and grew them back perfectly normal.
