Teeth Falling out...

You really need to discuss this with a dentist. I'm a little confused though. Are you referring to "baby teeth" or adult teeth? The situation would be very different according to which you mean.

Only 4-6 teeth? You haven't lost all your baby teeth? Have you ever seen a dentist? These are things a dentist would have seen by now.

At your age this isn't right, and it suggests that some of your permanent teeth are growing the wrong way. The permanent teeth cause the roots of teeth they grow into to dissolve. These are normally the baby teeth above them, but if they grow in the wrong direction they don't push out the baby teeth, but instead cause havoc with the roots of other teeth. You need a dental X-ray immediately.

By age 12, all your baby teeth should be gone and replaced by your adult. I would HIGHLY recommend going and seeing a dentist. You might also be one of the rare cases (seen a few myself) that don't have adult teeth to replace the baby teeth, which could be the reason your baby teeth were never "pushed out". This is something your dentist will be able to determine with x-rays.
