When Will My Child Start Losing Baby Teeth?

Each child is different, but you can expect that your little one will lose their first baby tooth around the age of 6. For some, it is earlier. For others, it might take another year before their pearly whites begin to fall out. With regular dental checkups for kids by our team at Maine Pediatric Dentistry, we can monitor this process to ensure your child’s teeth are in good shape when preparing to welcome their permanent, adult teeth.
