anytime between 5 and 13
bottom front : 5 or 6 or 7
top front : 6 or 7 or 8
it moves back from there
they will grow their back baby molars around age 6 - 7, and those will be the last to be replaced at age 12, 13, 14
PS - my youngest (age 13) just lost her last baby molars and is growing in her set of perms...
PSS - I am 47 and I still have 1 baby tooth left in my mouth - it's small and the dentist says so long as it's not causing me problems, he's leaving it alone.

4-7... sometimes later. There's no need to freak out. I remember losing my first tooth Field Day in Kindergarten; I was 6 years old and 5 months old. Now, I'm thirteen and a half (14 in December) and I still have one baby tooth left that's loose, but that's okay with me. It varies from child to child. My friend had lost around 8 of her teeth when she was barely four; my other friend was 7 and a half when she had only lost two of hers. Some kids don't lose their's until they're almost nine... Every child is different. I'm guessing he will lose his sometime this year, and if not, that's okay. You can rest assured that he will eventually start losing his baby teeth. Hope this helped.

All children lose them at different ages. Certainly by age six, they should at least start.The first set of teeth (primary) can take longer to even come in than being replaced with permanents. The wisdom teeth are usually the last to come in...third molars on both the top and bottom. Although sometimes called "18 year old molars"....they start showing up earlier in some people. Ages of losing baby teeth can go from 4,5,6,7 & 8 years of age. Some even hold on to them until they're 12! Everyone's different.

My oldest just started loosing her teeth and she is 7. The average age is 5-7 years old. Most loose their two middle top and bottom before the rest. I see a lot of second graders with beaver teeth : -) Now my daughter has offically taken a step closer with her newly lost 2 front teeth in the last two weeks!

Usually if their baby teeth grew in late then they will lose them late. My sons teeth did not begin to fall out until he was almost 8. No biggie. His adult teeth were growing in behind the baby ones even. They just pulled the babies out then.
Every kid is different. My sister is a dental hygienist and she says that the longer the adult teeth stay under the gums the stronger they will be. I'd say I'd be happy if the baby teeth came out late!

some kids start losing baby teeth at 5 yrs old, but 6 is much more common, and 7 is not that unusual.

around 6 or 7 the first start to fall. if a child is smaller than the other kids they will probably lose their teeth later.
i remember in grade 1 we had a chart of who lost how many teeth. i was always the lowest.
