What age do people usually loose all their baby teeth?

I'm 13 and i was surprised since my friend said that she still had one more baby tooth left. I lost all mine at the age of 8 or 9 (in the third grade). Is it bad to loose your teeth earlier? Or does it make a difference at whatever age you loose them at?

What age do people usually loose all their baby teeth?
Anterior (front) baby teeth are usually lost between 5 and 10; molars typically fall out a little bit later, so it's normal to be in middle school and still have a few molars left. It's not abnormal to lose them earlier or later, everyone's different. The only issue with losing baby teeth too early is that the permanent teeth may not be ready to grow in yet; if this is the case it can cause crowding when they do come in, though that can be fixed with braces of course.
Reply:about.......... 6-8 years old. and no it is not bad to loose your baby teeth earlier.
Reply:I lost all of mine when I was about nine or ten so it probably varies from person to person.
Reply:I'd guess 8 or 9. I'm convinced I never lose any molars because I don't remember it, but I guess that's not possible.
Reply:Children usually loose their last baby/primary tooth around ages 11-13, but kids usually loose their teeth at different ages. Some people never loose some of their primary teeth. Here is a link to a website that shows you at what age which teeth are suppose to erupt.
