temporary teeth???

Question

My 10-year old son still has temporary teeth. Is it possible? How long should we wait for all of his permanent teeth to be shown up?

Answer 1

My child is 13 and still has two baby teeth. One of the baby teeth has a full root, one has a partial root left.

His 2nd molars have not yet erupted, nor have the cuspid teeth erupted - but one is starting to appear to erupt. He lost 4 baby teeth, when he was 12 1/2 years old. Much later than his classmates, but this is still within normal age range of tooth loss for children.

Also, the first molars did not erupt until my son was between the ages of 8 and 9, unlike most children who are six when their first molars erupt.

Most children at 10 have lost most if not all their baby teeth. They are within the average of the normal age range. Whereas, someone like my son is still within the normal age range, but on the far end of the scale.

When my son was six, his dental xrays showed his adult teeth, so late loss was not a concern. In some ways, I consider the late loss a benefit. The later loss allowed my son to better care for his teeth (baby teeth) and I was able to stregthen the importance of home care before his adult teeth came in.

Answer 2

Temporary teeth? Do you mean baby teeth? If so he should usually have his permanent teeth by now...if not i would suggest taking him to ur dentist...Its possible he might not have any permanents underneath his baby teeth...its more common than you think...but his dentist can take xrays and find out..he could just be a real late bloomer! good luck!
