Question: Are all your teeth in your mouth supposed to fall out, mainly the top?


Answers: Are all your teeth in your mouth supposed to fall out, mainly the top?

Please don't listen to the people that say all your teeth are supposed to come out!

Your baby teeth are supposed to come out, and most people have 20 of them... 10 on top and 10 on the bottom. So if you start from the center of your mouth... 5 teeth in either direction should come out.

Your 2nd 'baby' molar ends up being the spot where your 2nd premolar is in the adult dentition. Soooo, after the 5th tooth from center, you'll be counting adult molars (there are 3, counting your wisdom teeth) and they should NOT come out on their own. As an adult you should have 16 on top and 16 on the bottom, counting your wisdom teeth. I hope this cleared up some of the weird answers you were getting! Good luck.

ummm... if you are in 2nd grade...

yeah, unless ur lucky enuf to not have to get ur wisdom teeth pulled. ur dentist would be able to tell u if u do or not.

yes all of them except the wisdom tooth that appear at the age of 15-20 and never change

Your baby teeth are supposed to fall out. Your adult teeth are supposed to outlive you ideally. Whoever said all your upper teeth are predestined to come out isn't right.
