Question: I'm 13 and I haven't lost my k-nine theeth?
Is that normal? I mean it's not even loose. I have friends loosing all their teeth at like 8. So would that possibly be normal? I wanted to make this a little longer but I really have nothing to ask. Ha ha.

See your dentist. They will do X-rays and check the status of your permanent canines. It might be the case that your deciduous teeth will need to be removed in order for the permanent ones to descend. In a small percentage of patients, there are no permanent teeth and care of the deciduous teeth becomes more important.

Used to work for a dentist.



I would let your parents know and get them to schedule an appointment with your dentist so that they can take some quick x-rays to see if your permanent teeth are hiding up there in your gums.

But before you do that...an easy way to check if your permanent teeth are coming in is to feel the gums above the teeth and if you feel a hard bulge, that usually means the tooth is about ready to come in. Even if you don't feel anything though, they may still be up there, just not where you can tell - that's why I suggest getting an x-ray, because if they're there, the x-ray will show it.

Don't worry about it though, I'm 16 and one of my back molars is just now finally coming in. Sometimes you have to be patient with your teeth! Make sure you get your calcium too! Calcium builds strong teeth and bones! :)



some people, fro whatever reason, have abnormal teeth some people grow in three sets instead of two, some people get no, 1, 2, or 3 wisdom teeth instead of all 4, some people never loose some teeth, it's not uncommon, my g'pa had three sets of teeth



I didn't loose one of mine till I was 40
