I hope this makes sense. Is there a certain amt. of time from the time a child looses a front tooth until it is at it's full size? Normally does one tooth usually grow into full size before the child looses another tooth? Thanks.

I am not exactly sure what you are asking but a child can lose several teeth around the same time so that there are several spaces before the adult teeth grow in all at the same time. As to how long it takes for the adult tooth to grow, I would think that differs from person to person and by when the baby tooth comes out. Usually the baby tooth falls out when the adult tooth begins to erupt. In my case, I had to have 9 baby teeth pulled because the adult teeth were growing and the baby teeth weren't even loose. So in my case, I had some fully grown adult teeth by the time my baby teeth were gone. (therefore it took no time at all). Hope this answers your question.
