Is this a wobbly child or adult tooth? (Photo attached)

Morning all, I wondered if anyone is able to tell from this picture whether the circled tooth is an adult or child one?

I have lost track of which teeth have come out and this one has become wobbly, but it looks suspiciously large for a child tooth, so I've got myself confused.

Thank you for any help

If you google tooth loss charts or similar then you'll get a diagram of teeth and the ages you'd expect them to go. I think the one circled is later, 9-12 years. Does that fit with child's age now?

I think that's tge same one my DS has just lost at the age of 10. I was also alarmed but we happened to have a dentist check up when it was wobbly so the dentist reassured us it was a baby one.

Thank you so much both of you! My child is 8 so just a little under the 'typical age' for that one but I am so relieved as it does fit as a guide.

I didn't realise there are tooth loss charts...just googled! That's awesome and will help for future as well. Many thanks
