Are childrens molar teeth suppost to fall out?
ya...deciduous molars have to fall off for the premolars to erupt...


btw, as sm1 said above..bicuspids (premolars) are never present in deciduous dentition i.e. they aint baby teeth, they belong only to the permanent dentition category.
Reply:For children belo 7 all teeth fall and then grow. Dont worry if you are below 7
Reply:Bicuspeds do fall out, all of childrens baby teeth fall out except for wisdom teeth.
Reply:yes ... for the adult ones to come in
Reply:Yes, baby teeth are guidlines for adult teeth to come..
Reply:Yes they are...that's why they call they "baby teeth"...they can take a longtime to fall out,depends on the child.Uusally around age 12-15...unless the child does not have a set of permanant teeth,rare,but can occur... a full set of x-rays can show what's there(12 x-rays,that show the whole tooth,including the roots)..most DDS.,will take what are called "bite wing x-rays"(2-4 x-rays,depending on the DDS)...these show the crowns and part of the root...


If they hurt...try Children's painkiller...not much else really works.A soft food diet ,can make it easier to eat.














BTW...


wisdom teeth are permanant teeth,that usually start to come in around the age of 17-21.
