Is it possible for a 9 year old to still have some baby teeth?

my son has a loose tooth on the bottom, kinda off to the right a little. we're not sure if this is still a baby tooth or not.

Is it possible for a 9 year old to still have some baby teeth?
Yes, between 12 and 13 my son lost like 7 teeth in a short time span !! He even asked me once if he was going to have to get false ones....
Reply:Yes. My 10 year old still has most of his baby teeth. He has been slow to get and lose teeth. Check with your dentist.
Reply:Most anything is possible, see a dentist.
Reply:Yes, it's possible. My 10 year old daughter still has a few of her baby teeth.
Reply:Yes it is possible. I still had a baby tooth when I was 10.
Reply:I lost my last baby tooth when I was 13.
Reply:At 9 he probably does have some baby teeth yet. If you are not sure about the tooth then take him to the dentist and get it checked. Usually when you go in for your routine 6 month exam the doc will tell you how many baby teeth are left while you are in the exam room with him. If you have any concerns see the dentist or call the office and have them check his records to see how many baby teeth he had left when he was seen the last time.
Reply:Yes, it is very possible. As a matter of fact, my husband who will be 50 on his next birthday still has a baby tooth. It is his right top eye tooth. The adult one is laying flat across the top of the baby one under the gum. He never lost the baby one and no one ever realized it until he was grown and he has opted to let things remain the way they are. He always takes the path of least resistance.LOL
Reply:OF course, lots of 9 year olds have baby teeth, its not time for some to have been lost yet. But, baby teeth are gererally smaller and new teeth are larger with ridges sometimes. You should be able to tell!
Reply:Absolutely. My youngest child still has baby teeth and she is 12.
Reply:Yes it is very possible. In fact some adults (myself included) still have a baby tooth/teeth. Both my father and I still have one baby tooth. My dentist thinks it is so funny, he always comments on it when I go in for a checkup.





My dad just turned 63 and his baby tooth is still doing the job.





(Mine is too but I thought a 63 year old baby tooth is more entertaining then a 35 year old baby tooth).





I was really slow to lose my baby teeth and after doing x-rays when I was 8 or 9 the dentist realized that my adult teeth were not growing in the proper position to push the baby teeth out. I ended up having all my front teeth pulled out and the dentist did something (honestly I don't remember what - I was so young) to help the adult teeth fall into place. Whatever he did worked pretty quickly as I had all my front adult teeth farily soon after.
Reply:of course , baby teeth are still there untill 11 or 12 year where the last one which is the upper cuspid shed , at 9 years , mostly a "baby" molar sheds and there will be a permanent successor that erupts about 3 to 4 weeks after.
