I am 12 and my teeth should have stopped growing out by now, but my premolars and even some molars are falling out too! New ones are growing, but no one in my family that I know of has never had this happen to them. They either had them pulled out or just left them alone. Is this a rare case of something, or is it just a natural thing that just happens?

by the way, all of my front teeth have fallen out already, it's just the molars i'm concerned about.

its completely normal. if your primary(baby) teeth havent fallen out yet, then they are now because your adult teeth are pushing on them and moving them out of the way so they can grow in. everone loses their baby teeth at different ages, some people very young and other have a baby tooth their whole life where an adult tooth never developed or grew in. if you have teeth growing in below them there is no need to worry!
put em under your pillow and make some money off of them while you still can! :)
hope this helps!

Some kids don't lose all their baby teeth until they are 13 or so. I wouldn't worry about it too much if new ones are growing in.

ALEX,
ULTIMATELY THE PRIMARY MOLARS WILL BECOME SO LOOSE, AS THE PERMANENT ONES ARE ERRUPTING THEY PUSH THEM OUT OF THE WAY, THEY COULD FALL OUT ON THEIR OWN. THIS IS NATURAL.
IF YOU HAVE ANY PREMOLARS THESE ARE PERMANENT AND WILL NOT FALL OUT BY THEMSELVES.

I think most ppl lose their molars.
If you are super concerned, see a dentist

this is perfectly normal. brush and floss well and see your dentist every 6 months.
