I congenitally lack 4 teeth. For those teeth, the ~~milk~~ baby teeth never fell out. I ripped one out at 15, and the dentist took the last when I was 18.

Amazing if sometime I'll just be able to take a pill an regrowth them. Painful prolly tho.

Edit whops expressions and languages

Oh yeah that's the English term. My bad. Yeah the first set of teeth, the non-permanent one, is known as "maitohampaat" ie milk teeth in Finnish.

Wikipedia lists milk teeth as another word for it so you weren't wrong.
