I still have baby teeth at 16?

Umm I was just wondering if this was still normal. All 4 of my back molars are still baby teeth and (1 on both sides of the top and 1 on both sides at the bottom). And then my top canine teeth are still baby teeth but I noticed the other day that both of my canines are a little loose. I%26#039;m hoping this is just normal. Anybody have any ideas?

It is possible, some people retain their deciduous teeth when the permanent doesn%26#039;t form. You may be mistaken with your molars, you should have had the second molar erupt by now, but it could be a little late. Check the eruption chart at the site I%26#039;ve listed and discuss this with your dentist, he will be able to tell you exactly what you have and where the permanent teeth are.

Reply:For me I still had a baby tooth until I was about 25. I did not have an adult tooth underneath it so it was never pushed out. I have a cousin who also had baby teeth in her twenty%26#039;s. I don%26#039;t think it is anything to worry about just ask your dentist next time you go.
Reply:The four back molars are normal. They are supposed to stay there and not fall out. But as for the canines, some people are born without any adult teeth, they only have baby teeth. So you might have been born with only baby teeth where your canine teeth are. You might have to get them pulled. Hope this helps.
Reply:Hi. I am 16 and I have very small teeth. My cousin who is only 8 years old have bigger front teeth than mine. My dentist told me that I have very short teeth and I can cut some of my gum to make my teeth long longer, which will look nicer. I think it%26#039;s normal though. Also, I have 2 vampire teeth that are very sharp and small.
Reply:Yup its normal.
Reply:I had a baby tooth until I was 13. Wait! I still am 13. It%26#039;s Ok. Some people are slower developers.


Get an X-ray just to make sure that those adult teeth are formed!

Reply:I would go to your dentist and get an xray, you could have an impaction, or the tooth could not have formed. It`s you to you what you want to do with the results either way, but an impaction is not what you want to hear. Impaction, ( tooth formed in the wrong spot ), I had one of my canines impacted and the had to expose it and drag it down with wires and braces......VERY PAINFUL!!!! It was impacted in my pallet. It might be something simple for you, like the tooth never formed, BUT get it checked!!!!!!
