How many of you didn't lose baby teeth until your teens?

I lost my last baby tooth in 11th grade. My two older children did the same. My youngest is in the 9th grade and only lost 4 uppers and 4 lowers. He has a few molars loose right now. Is this unusual or fairly common? I know a lot of kids didn't lose their first tooth until kindergarten/first grade. All three of my kids were in the third grade before they lost their first tooth. Anyone in the same boat here?

I am 14 and I still have quite a few baby teeth.
Reply:I am forty and I still have two baby teeth. I have one gap from losing a baby tooth a couple years ago but the perm is growing in nicely.
Reply:I have NEVER heard of this!! My 14 year old has lost them all, my 10 year old quite a few.. You are actually quite lucky- this saves you lots of money!!!:-)
Reply:My family is the same way. My kids are still losing thiers and i was a junior in high school hiding my space from still losing baby teeth. All is fine, at least we have a few less years of any staining! we all have naturally really white teeth. Best of luck!
