How Long Can It Actually Take For An Adult Tooth To Grow When A Baby Tooth Falls Out ?

  1. Bloody Mary - It really depends. For me? Some in a matter of weeks and one or two a year! It depends on the tooth and well, you.

  2. ♥Bella Shooting Star♥ - It depends. I just read about this in a parenting mag. Apparently it is not the adult teeth coming in that causes the baby ones to loosen. It is something else (can't remember what) but anyway the roots of the baby teeth start to erode WAY before the adult teeth erupt. If the tooth practically falls out on its own, the adult tooth isn't far behind. BUT!! If the child gets antsy & the prent pulls it before the roots are completely eroded, it can take months.

  3. Jets Girl 42 - A baby tooth falls out because the adult tooth below puts pressure on the root and dissolves it. If there is not enough room for the adult tooth, it may take quite a long time to come in. If it is more than 6 months have your dentist take an x-ray.
