Answers:
My dad had a baby tooth until he was over 40, I think I still have one and I'm 21!. Sometimes it just happens that you don't have a adult tooth underneath!. Before you decide to pull it out I would suggest that you talk to your dentist, because it could seriously mess up your teeth in the long run, especially if you don't have an adult tooth underneath!. It could make the difference between whether or not you have to wear braces in the future and a baby tooth is nothing compared to braces(not that braces are always bad just that a baby tooth is pretty much invisible unless you look for it)!.
Also just remember everyone has at least one feature they would change about themselves if they could, if a baby tooth is your worst physical feature you are lucky!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If your baby tooth is still there at 16 there is a chance that you do not have an adult tooth to follow!. If the tooth is not loose, don't touch it!. Some people have what we call "retained primary teeth"!. If you have not had a visit with your dentist for x-rays to confirm the presence of your permanent tooth, hold up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

don't fret about it I had a baby tooth in my mouth till I was 22 years old, the dentist just pulled it out i had no pain with it but mine was loose!.!.!.so just talk to your dentist about it!.!.!.but if you adult tooth hasn't grown in yet it will make your teeth grow in crooked so you should have it removed soonWww@Answer-Health@Com

It will eventually fall out, i'm 23 and i just lost my last baby tooth!. Do not pull it out, I'm sorry your getting called names but you could damage ur jaw and have future problems as an adult!. I'm currently in school learning all this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You might have an impacted tooth!! You should go to the dentist!. Maybe the adult tooth never formed!.!. I would get an xray!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
