It is completely normal for some children not to lose their first baby tooth exactly at 6 years of age. Most children begin shedding their lower front baby teeth between 6–7 years, but the normal range can vary from 5–7 years.
If your child has not lost any teeth yet but there is no pain, swelling, or difficulty eating, there is usually no need to worry. Sometimes the permanent teeth are simply developing a little later.
I recommend scheduling a visit with a pediatric dentist for a clinical examination and, if needed, an OPG (panoramic X-ray) to check whether the permanent teeth are developing and erupting normally.
If the permanent teeth are present and developing well, observation is usually all that’s required.
