I still have baby teeth?

I'm currently 16 and I still have a couple baby teeth. I haven't thought about it much because I started losing my teeth late (I think I started when I was 9 or 10?) but it's starting to worry me. Is it normal for somebody my age to have a couple of baby teeth left?

I am 27 and still have a baby tooth because I don't have a regular tooth growing underneath it. I lost all my other baby teeth before I was 13, thoughspazzx625

Also everytime I ask my dentist she says I should just wait.

Not sure how normal it is. I don't think much older people have their baby teeth left hence it being called baby teeth. Me I actually have one baby tooth left in the back of my mouth. It actually made one of my other teeth grow a bit crooked. So I have a row of straight teeth with one crooked one. I can get braces, but it doesn't bother me enough to care.

Also I would go to the dentist and ask how it would effect the growth of your permanent teeth.

If its the molars (back teeth) you are talking about, it isn't that uncommon.Scr00I

You should just go to the dentist and get some x rays etc. I don't think your permanent canines are going to grow in seeing as how they haven't done so yet

Yeah, sometimes baby teeth stay longer than expected. Atleast you didn't have to go through what I did though (Baby tooth wouldn't go away, so tooth grew behind it. I got the baby tooth removed, and now the tooth looks like a mess..)

I don't have braces either :P. I probably need them, but they would be a bit embarrassing going into college..And by a bit, I mean very embarrassing..

I knew a guy who drank so much milk as a kid that he still had all his baby teeth because the calcium rooted them in ridiculously tight. Just ask your dentist next time you have an appointment.Jaks_Publicity

I'm 16 and one of my baby teeth is still in my mouth and it's also a canine tooth. I just have the adult tooth growing over top of it. I actually lost the other canine about a year ago, it was the same situation and it's fine. The adult tooth just pushed the baby tooth right out.

Why do people place a question mark on a sentance that clearly isn't a question? :?

Not sure...I technically didn't lose my last baby tooth since one of my family members decided they were pulling it out....

Start punching yourself in the jaw and knock them out. Then, you won't have to worry about them anymore :)

I still have my baby teeth too... :O
