Is 9 years old too old to lose a baby tooth?

Question

my son just turned 9 on the 11th of Aug. he has a loose tooth,is this too old to be still losing his baby teeth?

Answer 1

I'll be 14 in less than 15 days   ^ _ ^  and I still have 4 baby teeth. I would have 10 baby teeth but my Dentist pulled out 6 and I have to go get the rest pulled too. It just depends on the person. It happened to my other bro too. But I have two other bros that lost of their teeth before they turned 8. (:

Answer 2

I don't think so. It's better that he lost it now, rather than having it surgically removed later. I would take him to the dentist just to be sure tho.  

Answer 3

No,well not for me at least...i lost my last baby tooth in the 8th grade. So I was around 13 or 14.

Answer 4

No at his age its expected that he will be losing baby teeth and gaining adult teeth.

Roughly, up til the age of 6 is when a child only has baby teeth.

From around age 6-12, children are in the process of losing baby teeth and gaining adult teeth.

There is normally a sequence as to what baby teeth are lost first, different tooth types have different ages for becoming loose and falling out.

Answer 5

No. My son just lost a molar and he's 12.

Answer 6

i was 14 and the dentist pulled like 3 or 4 of my baby teeth so yea

Answer 7

No it's normal, your son won't have all his adult teeth(except wisdom) till he's 12.

Answer 8

no, nine year ODs loose their baby teeth a lot. my Friend didn't loose most of them until  she was 13. its better he is losing them now than later because it messes up your teeth more when you are older.
