    How old are you? Were these your baby teeth? How did you lose them?

    I'm a young teen and yes they were my baby teeth. The real teeth haven't grown in at all!

    Well, then, it can take quite a while for your teeth to grow back in. If you can, ask your mom how old you were when you got your first set of teeth. This is a good guideline to go by to determine how long it may take your adult teeth to come in.

    If you were older, like older than 6 months old when you got your first teeth, it could take a while. It could take several months even. More than 4 for sure.

    Just know that the adult teeth are there. Actually, this is how you lost your baby teeth. The adult teeth started pushing the baby teeth out and then all of the sudden, they fell out.

    So you will get them, it just could take a while.

    You could just be delayed. You may have to go back to the dentist and have X-rays taken to find out how far down the adult teeth have dropped.

    Understand that it is impossible for us here cause we have no way of seeing your teeth, nor do we have your history. We can only guess at answers for you.
