Baby teeth typically last until a child is between the ages of 12 and 14, although the exact time frame varies from child to child.
The process of losing baby teeth begins as the roots of these teeth disintegrate. This disintegration causes the teeth to loosen and eventually fall out, making way for permanent adult teeth. By the time a child reaches 12 to 14 years old, most of their baby teeth have been replaced by 28 adult teeth. The last four teeth to emerge, the wisdom teeth, usually come in between the ages of 17 and 21.
In summary, while individual timelines differ, baby teeth generally remain in place until the early teen years, specifically around ages 12-14.
