He's seven-and-a-half, and hasn't lost one yet..

He didn't get his first tooth until he was 15 months old, and he just got some molars in September..

More than likely he will lose them late since he got them late

My daughter got hers around 7mths and started losing them around when she was 6

My DD#1 is 12 and still has quite a few baby teeth, but she got her teeth late. My other DD *almost 8* has only 4 left and she got her's early. It's just going to depend. What has the dentist said?

Same here! Well DS got his first tooth at 3 months old. And started losing them when he was a little over 5. DD got her first tooth at about 7 months so I am assuming she'll lose her a little bit later than DS did, especially since she is 5 now.

If you are concerned, I'd ask at the next dental appointment. They can do x-rays & tell if the permanent teeth have come down at all, yet. If they have then they'll start losing them soon. And if not, then you know it might be a bit longer.

Probably depends. Just keep an eye on them. I am 31 and still have 4 baby teeth. 2 of which are my canines and since they were never pulled as a kid the adult teeth impacted. I was told they would stay impacted but nope. 1 of my adult canines is now coming thru the roof of my mouth. GOnna cost over 5 grand to get the work I need done. So I would talk to his dentist and keep an eye on things

Ouch Kristi!!!!!
I had to get several baby teeth pulled for my braces or else my mouth would have been overcrowded.

Has he seen the dentist yet?!?

Do you know if he has 6 year molars yet(the first adult molars they get)?? Most kids will not lose their first baby tooth until the 6 year molars either start to come in or are all the way in. He is still pretty much right on track for his age believe it or not:yes ....but an exam and a panorex xray by the dentist wouldn't hurt if your unsure!!:D

Just went back and read your first post and saw where his 6 year molars are in:P .....his bottom front teeth should be getting wiggly soon if they aren't already a bit wiggly. Now that his 6's are in his other adult will be starting to come in a fairly soon!!:yes
