Do children lose all of their first set of teeth?
DS has really bad back teeth (they're weak....gets that from me) and just curious as to whether they'll fall out and he'll get a new gleaming set that we can start afresh with :)
TIA

er, yes.

Yes, they lose all their milk teeth. When you say his teeth are bad, do you mean they have cavities?

they lose the 20 baby teeth that they started off with. They dont lose the new molars they first start getting from age 6ish

SquirtedPerfumeUpNoseInBoots - warned you it was a stupid question Grin
fluffyanimal - yes he has cavities. He has suspected Aspergers syndrome, whcih makes visits to the dentist / GP / hospital very distressing. Must take him soon though, I know.
Seona1973 - great chart! Will show DH later.
THANKS FOR THE REPLIES
