It's possible for a 12-year-old to still have some baby teeth, but most children lose their last baby tooth around this age.
According to available information, most children lose their last baby tooth around the age of 12. After a baby tooth is lost, it makes space for the adult tooth to come in. Typically, all permanent teeth, excluding wisdom teeth, are in place by the time a child turns 13.
Here's a general timeline to consider:
- Around Age 6: The first baby teeth start to fall out.
- Around Age 12: Most children lose their last baby tooth.
- Around Age 13: All non-wisdom teeth are typically present.
Therefore, while it's not unusual for a 12-year-old to have a baby tooth or two remaining, it's also common for them to have lost all of their baby teeth by this age.
