Answers: By what age should you have lost all your baby teeth and do you lose your molars aswel?

Most people start getting their adult teeth around age 5, starting with the bottom front (mandibular central incisors). There is actualy a sequence to how they are supposed to fall out, but it varies depending on the order in which they grew in... so I won't bore you with it! Anyway, you should lose your last baby tooth at approx. age 12.

You have 10 baby teeth on both the top and bottom and grow in 16 (including wisdom teeth). This means that yes, you DO lose your primary (baby) molars. Your permanent first and second premolars grow in in their place.

You should have lost all your baby teeth by about 12-13. And as for molars, its weird. Some people lose them but Ive found that a majority of people dont. I lost my molars and my parents didnt believe me until I showed them the next time one fell out.
