Kids typically start losing their baby teeth around the age of 5 to 7 years old. The first teeth to fall out are usually the lower front teeth (central incisors), followed by the upper front teeth. However, this timeline can vary widely among children, with some losing their first tooth as early as 4 or as late as 7 years old. The process of losing baby teeth usually continues until about age 12, making room for permanent adult teeth to come in.

Girls often begin to lose their teeth slightly earlier than boys. It is normal for children to lose teeth up to 2 years earlier or later than the average age of 6. The order of tooth loss tends to follow the order in which the teeth appeared, starting with the central incisors and progressing to lateral incisors, canines, and molars.
