How long is it normal for children to be missing their front teeth?

Answer by  Molae06 (1467)

It really depends on the child, but a normal range is between six and eight months. Some children are even still missing their front teeth after an entire year has passed. Children who get a good amount of calcium every day will have their teeth come in quick than children who don't.

Some children are never really missing their front teeth as the adult teeth are already visible upon losing the baby teeth. Some take a year or more.

The bottom two teeth are usually the first to go, followed by the top two. Often, children start growing the permanent teeth almost immediately.

My son's 2 front teeth both took a year to come in. I checked with an oral surgeon and this is a common happening.

It really depends if the adult teeth are already waiting to come in. It can take up to a year if the teeth aren't waiting to come in.

When kids lose their front teeth, it is normal for them to take six to eight weeks to grow back in. They also don't pop through the gums in the same order that they fell out. It is common for them to all fall out at once and then slowly grow back.

It is normal for kids to be missing their front teeth for almost a year or at least six months after they have lost them. Every kid is different though, and it also depends on whether the tooth was coming in before they lost it or not. that would cause it to come in quicker.
