Can you still have baby teeth whist a teenager or over 20?!


Question: I have 2 baby teeth and I am almost 30. Your baby teeth will remain if you don't have adult teeth grow in beneath them. It's quite common. One of mine eventually died and fell out last year. They are almost impossible to keep for a lifetime because the root of a baby tooth is about 1/5th the length of an adult tooth.

No

im almost 39 and still have one left dentist says its perfectly healthy so leave it alone

you usually have your wisdom teeth grow in by then, or have to get them removed.

yes, my aunt had 3 sets of teeth

Yes,
My brother is 65 and he still has 2

Extremely unlikely I would think. The adult teeth would push them out

yes my friend has 1 and hes 19 somepeople just dont grow a new tooth in that spot

In general, it is possible. But most people lose all their baby teeth at the age of twelve or thirteen. If they are kept longer, sometimes the dentist removes them.

yes, I had one until a month ago; I pulled it out, and am getting a implant, but it would have lasted longer, had I left it alone.

Yes.

If you don't have the adult tooth behind it to push it out, your baby tooth will stay until it decays (if it ever does). I still have one which is very healthy that I plan on keeping till I die hopefully. The other 4 baby teeth I had pulled when I was a kid and had braces, because the dentist didn't want me to have to have 5 fake teeth or dentures or whatever they use.

My Dad is 72 and still has 2!!!!
They are loose, but are wedged between his adult teeth. The dentist says that as they are not giving him any problem, they can stay.
If they do come out, they won't be replaced by adult teeth as they rotted in the gum many years ago.

Im 13 and have lost ten... Lol

yes you can two of my four children have them still - one is 25 this year and the other is 21 always had good teeth

It is possible because I still have several "baby" teeth.
I am 38 yrs old and as a child, I lost all my front 8 lower teeth & my front 8 upper teeth. In addition, I have now grown 3 wisdom teeth but all other teeth at the sides (top and bottom) are first teeth.
Some people find this difficult to believe but it's true. I have spoken to a couple of dentists about it and I have been told that some people do not have a second set to push the first ones out.
It has never caused me any problems and I have a nice set of straight, well cared for teeth. I have never needed any dental treatment other than cleaning & polishing.

No not really. Because baby teeth get loose and fall out no matter what.

yes, my dad is 42 and still has a baby tooth!!
