When Will My Child Start Losing Baby Teeth?

During this time, your child will start their final stage of oral development, when their permanent teeth will begin to emerge after their baby teeth fall out (typically around the age of six). The average person has 32 permanent teeth, most of which you’ll be able to see by the time your child turns 13 years old, with the exception of wisdom teeth. At this age, if your child could benefit from orthodontic treatment, Dr. Joe will likely refer them for an orthodontic evaluation.
