whats a milk teeth? what country are you from? I guess you mean baby teeth, in either case if her regular teeth have not erupted yet its all good, if they have and is crowding her mouth I would go to a oral surgeon |

Have they done an xray to see if she has any adult teeth under her milk teeth?
Its normally the adult teeth pushing up that make the milk teeth wobbly and fall out.
She needs to see if she has adult teeth there. |

I'm 40 (infact nearly 41) and I still have a milk tooth.
The normal time to start loosing them though is from the age of approx 7years |

If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
If I had a bell
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening
All over this land
I'd ring out danger
I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land |

Milk teeth fall out when you are about 7 or 8 years old. I'm surprised your dentist hasn't taken them out yet! |

Get her to see an orthadontist.My son at 16 also has this problem.He has no adult teeth to push the baby teeth out.That may also be you're daughters problem, but she can still have braces if she needs/ wants them. |

My daughters friend had hers until the beginning of senior school and they thought that was a problem at 12 years old!!
At 17 the body has almost finished growing and he is nearly an adult, have you visited an orthodontist? |

They should be out by now.
Don't wait, take her to the dentist.
If her adult teeth have not grown in yet, they might not come in.
I was 17 and still had 2 "baby" milk teeth. My dentist advised me to yank them out myself or the grown teeth wouldn't come down. I pulled one and it came in great. But I didn't do the second one and when I was 23 it broke and I had to have it pulled, the Adult tooth never grew in, it is in my jaw.
Teeth that sit too long in the jaw won't come down on their own, and you have to have surgery (expensive) to have it pulled down into place, or have a fake tooth implanted (expensive) 17 isn't too late, have the baby teeth taken out a/s/a/p. Trust me I made a huge mistake at your daughters age not to do anything. You are a good mum to be so concerned. |

How do you knnow that they are baby teeth? Has a dentist told you this. I am a dentist and I have never heard of a 17 year old having that many baby teeth left. Some people can have up to 4 and even this is extremely rare. More than this indicates some type of syndrome I would think. |

Go to a dentist and have them pulled. |

I am 26 and still have 4 milk teeth, you can get them removed at the dentist and they will also xray her mouth to make sure she has teeth ready to come through. Having these milk teeth has never been a problem for me and i have never had a brace and my teeth are perfectly fine, just take her to a dentist. |

milk teeth fall out at a young age. mine fell out at about 8. i would go see a dentist because i'm pretty sure she shouldn't still have milk teeth |

by the time she was 12. take her to a dentist and ask him what can be done. |

Are u sure she has permanent teeth? Sometimes there can be missing permanent teeth and this can be why the adult teeth are not pushing these out. Otherwise, she may need help getting the baby teeth out. I have seen many 17 year olds still with 1 tops 2 baby teeth, but not usually 12. |
