When Will My Child Start Losing Baby Teeth?

You can expect your child to start losing their baby teeth around the age of six. It’s important to remember, though, that each child is different, so some may lose one or more teeth by the time they are five years old, while others may not say goodbye to their baby teeth until they reach 7 or 8. This change from primary to permanent teeth will continue until your child turns 12 or 13.
