If you have already lost the tooth, then you are looking at an adult tooth. I had to have 7 baby teeth pulled at that age - but most people will have lost them by that time. Mine hung around longer than they were suppossed to - and blocking my adult teeth from coming in.....which hurt - which is why the baby teeth had to come out.
And you can get cavities in baby teeth, naturally - just like any other tooth

HI Dixie.
Not everybody loses all of their baby teeth. The only way to know if you will ever lose that is if you have a panoramic xray taken by your dentist. This way, they can see if you have an adult tooth underneath the baby tooth to replace it when/if you lose it or have it pulled.
I am 28 and I still have one of my baby molars.

You should have lost your baby teeth by age 14.
