The first baby teeth to fall out are typically the two bottom front teeth (lower central incisors
central incisors
The maxillary central incisor is a human tooth in the front upper jaw, or maxilla, and is usually the most visible of all teeth in the mouth. It is located mesial (closer to the midline of the face) to the maxillary lateral incisor. ... The position of these teeth may determine the existence of an open bite or diastema.
) and the two top front teeth (upper central incisors), followed by the lateral incisors
lateral incisors
Anatomical terminology. The maxillary lateral incisors are a pair of upper (maxillary) teeth that are located laterally (away from the midline of the face) from both maxillary central incisors of the mouth and medially (toward the midline of the face) from both maxillary canines.
Anatomical terminology. The maxillary first molar is the human tooth located laterally (away from the midline of the face) from both the maxillary second premolars of the mouth but mesial (toward the midline of the face) from both maxillary second molars.
Anatomical terminology. The maxillary second molar is the tooth located distally (away from the midline of the face) from both the maxillary first molars of the mouth but mesial (toward the midline of the face) from both maxillary third molars. This is true only in permanent teeth.
There is usually a basic pattern for the loss of baby teeth: first the two bottom front ones (lower central incisors), followed by the two top front ones (upper central incisors) and then the lateral incisors, first molars, canines and second molars.
Which milk tooth falls down first?
The lower primary front teeth usually erupt first, so they are also the first to fall out. This is followed by the lateral incisors (right next to the central incisors), and then the first molar, second molar and canine (cuspid) teeth. All of the baby teeth should fall out by the time your child turns 12 years old.
