DS still not lost any baby teeth? What's normal?

My DS is 6, he's still not lost any teeth, should I be worried? Every child in his class has lost at least one tooth at this stage?
He's growing normally and is healthy otherwise,
Will speak to his dentist but wanted to see if anyone has experienced similar?

It'll happen, don't worry. He'll likely lose a few within a period of weeks. So make sure you have your coins ready....

All my dc were late to lose teeth comparatively. Honestly some times it just takes a while eldest I think lost last baby tooth at 13 first at 7.

My middle DS was 9 before he eventually lost a tooth. Dentist wouldn’t remove baby teeth and his new teeth came in behide. He has good teeth now but did get braces . Dentist told me the longer teeth are under the guns the better. He has never had a filling

My DD lost her first tooth at 7. She’s nearly 8 now and her top two teeth have finally come out - 2 years after her peers. It was exactly the same as her big brother - who now has a mouthful of (mostly) adult teeth at 10. I wouldn’t worry but I do remember being slightly concerned with DS at the time.

My son lost his first a month after his 8th birthday.

He’s 9 now, and he’s lost three in total.

I was worried but his dentist wasn’t.

DS was 8 when he lost his first. DD was 7. When technically 3 as she knocked one out then and still has a gap nearly 4 years later but she was 7 when she lost her first naturally. And that was only that one about 5 months ago. None more wobbling yet

They were quite late to get them in the first place; 13 and 11 months respectively

I have a friend who didn’t lose his baby teeth until he was in his 30’s, and he’s had no issues! I don’t think you need to worry but could talk to the dentist at next checkup if you would like some reassurance.

Don't worry. One of my children was 9. I was starting to think she only had the one set and would have tiny teeth forever 😂
