Not only have I been able to predict the order of teeth falling out, but the pattern. My son got his first 7 teeth in a fairly predictable order and then no teeth for several months. Between the ages of 12 and 15 months, he went from 7 to 16 teeth. It was a painful time for us all! Now, at age 9, after not losing any teeth for over a year after the first seven, he has lost 5 teeth in the last month. I told him that I predicted he would lose a lot of teeth in a short amount of time after a break. He would have been worried about all the teeth he’s losing otherwise.
We have been experiencing a lot of headaches, ear pain, and stomach issues lately just as we did when he was initially teething. We just made the connection. Has anyone else experienced this? Every time he loses a tooth, the next day we can always feel the new one poking through.

Can anyone give an approximate order that they lose teeth? I didn’t keep tract of the order they came in. Also, according to the “Baby Teeth” chart on this website, when do they usually lose tooth #27. My son is nine. His #27 tooth is loose and he is worried that he has already lost it.
Thanks,

Lu,

Well, I’m not sure of the exact answer to your question but here’s what I’ve found so far: According to the American Academy of Pediatrics website (aap.org),

“Baby teeth ordinarily are shed first at about age 6 when the incisors, the middle teeth in front, become loose. Molars, in the back, are usually shed between ages 10 and 12, and are replaced with permanent teeth by about age 13.”

The #27 tooth is a canine which is between the incisors and the molars. My best guess is that the canines come in between the ages of 6 and 10, in between the incisors and molars. Hope that helps!

Lu,

I just found a really cool website that answers your question exactly! Canines come in between 9 and 10, so your son probably hasn’t lost that tooth already. Show him this website! It’s an interactive diagram that takes you through what is happening in a child’s mouth development from ages 0 to 18.

My son Jack is 10 years old and he has just hit himself in the mouth and his bottom right eye tooth is loose and bleeding. I can’t remember if it is a first tooth or a second tooth. He thinks he has only lost 8 baby teeth in total and he thinks it is a first tooth.

Is there anyway of telling.

All dentists are closed today. Can anyone help.

I love this website! I also found this website

a great help. HTH Emma x

Just a note: the above chart is one of adult, permanent teeth, not baby teeth. Primary teeth are named using letters, not numbers, and there are only 24 of them, not 32. Just thought this might alleviate some confusion if you’re one of the people keeping track of when baby’s teeth came in and what ones have fallen out!
