From experience, baby teeth do not necessarily all fall out at the age of six!!!
(My FIRST tooth was lost at age six, I had to have the last FOUR pulled at age
twelve, before getting braces.  Wisdom teeth only started erupting around
age 22).  I agree that it probably has alot to do with genetics.  My entire
family (M&D and four children) had "late" teeth.
