Did you lose teeth late?

Post Reply New Topic

This is probably just a random idea but I was wandering if there is a link between losing teeth late and having autism. Kind of how generally if you are autistic than you look younger. The reason I thought of this is that I am just starting to get my wisdom teeth and most people had them pulled a year or 2 ago that are my age.

I supposedly don't have any wisdom teeth. My teeth were pretty screwed up when I was younger. I was always behind other children developmentally. I didn't lose my first tooth until I was 7 years old. By the time I was 17 years old and ready to get braces I had to get 4 milk teeth pulled because there were no permanent teeth underneath them and then I got elastics to close up the gaps.

Wisdom teeth can come through at any age for anyone. My dentist once told me she'd had a patient who's wisdom teeth didn't come through till their 70's. Mine didn't come through till my late 20's and one of them has never appeared.

Nah, I don't think so. I think I lost my last tooth when I was 10. As for wisdom teeth, I got them removed before they came in.

Quite the opposite. A dentist told me my dental growth was "precocious" when I was in preschool, because I lost my first tooth when I was four. I lost my last baby tooth at age 10. My 12-year molars started growing when I was 10. I got my wisdom teeth removed just after my 16th birthday.

Oh, another one of those random ''is this autism-related?'' things. Autism does not affect what age you lose your teeth. Your teeth have got nothing to do with how your brain is wired. All children are different. I started losing my teeth at age 4.

Actually, I had all of my adult teeth by the age of 11. I had buck teeth though so I got braces.

I had my first loose tooth when I was five and lost the other front teeth when I was six. Then I didn't lose anymore until I was nine and ten and I remember having a loose tooth in 6th grade. I still have two of my baby teeth and my wisdom teeth didn't start coming in until I was 22 (and that one still hasn't come in all the way so a little part of it is still under the gums) and the other never popped in all the way and the other two haven't gone through yet.

i dont whats considered late but i remember loosing 2 teeth (naturally) in 7th grade. and in 7th if it was 7th grade i had to be either 12 going on 13 or 13. Is that considered late?

editactually i realized in 7th grade i would have either 11 going on 12 or 12 i turned 13 in 8th grade not 7th

I wish people would use ages instead of grades. These "grades" mean nothing to many people outside of the US.

I only have one wisdom tooth. I'm either yet still to cut the others, or I don't have them in first place (some people don't have a full set of teeth - and my mouth is small). I lost most of my baby teeth a bit late, about a year late for most of them. I lost my last baby tooth at 15 - so that one was very tardy.

Only 28 adult teeth grew in, 2 were pulled for orthodontics, so I have 26. I never got any wisdom teeth. My 6yr old has 8 adult teeth now. She lost her first baby one when she was 4 1/2.
