\"Shutterstock<\/a>For an adult, the prospect of losing a tooth<\/b> can be terrifying \u2013 unless, of course, you are the proud parent of a little one who is looking forward to his or her first visit from the tooth fairy! At D\u2019Amico & Mauck, DDS<\/a> in Aurora, CO<\/a>, Dr. Nicholas D\u2019Amico and Dr. Matt Mauck<\/a> offer a wide range of general and family dentistry<\/a> services, as well as accurate, reliable information for parents looking to keep their child\u2019s smile healthy and looking great.<\/p>\n

Tooth Loss Time Table<\/b><\/p>\n

In most cases, a child\u2019s primary teeth (more commonly referred to as baby teeth) begin to grow loose naturally at around the age of five or six. Girls typically precede boys in tooth eruption<\/b> and loss, though this isn\u2019t always the case. Teeth will generally fall out in the order in which they erupted, with the two bottom front teeth \u2013 lower central incisors \u2013 coming out first. The two top teeth, or upper central incisors, are next. By the age of about 9 to 12, all four of the canines will be lost and replaced gradually by adult teeth.<\/p>\n

Under normal circumstances, all primary teeth will have been lost by the age of about 12 or 13 years. It is important to remember that, while baby teeth will eventually be replaced by permanent ones, their care during these formative years is still incredibly important. Proper oral hygiene at home and regular visits to our office will ensure that your child\u2019s smile remains as healthy as it is bright.<\/p>\n
