What is the reason you still have a baby tooth as an adult?
Rippedwings
You probably have either a congenitally missing or impacted permanent adult tooth.

What is the oldest person still having their baby's first teeth?
Could be over 100 years of age. Some people are born missing a single adult tooth. If that adult tooth is not present then the baby tooth root will not resorb thus causing a retained baby tooth. I see this often in my private practice when an adult premolar is missing and the baby molar tooth is then retained. Signed, DDS
If you have a baby tooth and an adult tooth is growing in front of the baby tooth would you need to remove the baby tooth?
This is very common in children where the adult tooth comes out behind or in front of the baby tooth. Sometimes the baby tooth becomes loose as the adult tooth comes out more and extraction is not necessary. If the tooth is not becoming loose, then the tooth should be removed.

What is a baby tooth?
A baby tooth is a tooth which will be replaced when it has been lost by the child to whom it belongs, and replaced with a permanent, adult tooth.
Is the fourth tooth from the left to the right a baby tooth when you are eleven?
no but it certainly does look like a adult tooth
What about baby teeth that have no adult teeth?
Babies and young children don't have any adult teeth. Baby teeth fall out before permanent teeth emerge through the gum, or if baby teeth have not fallen out before, an emerging permanent tooth pushes the baby one out. In some cases, a permanent tooth can push up either in front of or behind a baby tooth and dental services are needed to remove the baby tooth and to straighten the adult tooth's alignment.
What if a child gets an abscessed tooth in a baby tooth Can it damage the adult tooth underneath?
No, The adult teeth forms separate from the child tooth. However if nutrition is not improved while the adult tooth is coming before the adult tooth comes in, there is a higher chance it will be weak and more prone to decay.
Is it rare to have a baby tooth as an adult?
not as much as you think. It actually happens quite often. when it does, you treat that tooth as a permanent tooth and fill cavities. You can even crown a baby tooth if there is no permanent tooth underneath it. If you have a permanent tooth under it, they usually extract the baby tooth.
Can an adult ever lost a tooth and then another tooth grows back in its place?
Depending on why you lost your tooth, if you never lost all of your baby teeth (just because you have teeth under your baby onesdoesn't mean your going to lose them (two of my teeth were growing in a way they wouldn't push my baby teeth out and at 17 I got them pulled and within a month they were fully grown in)) and your tooth eventually falls out because of the pressure from the tooth growing under it, or if by chance the tooth that you "accidentally lost" is a baby tooth, AND there is a tooth under it then yes. Other wise no. Go to a dentist. You actually born with tooth buds inside your gums, your milk tooth buds are almost completed forming but the adult teeth have only started. The reason your milk teeth fall out is because the adult tooth bud has finished growing and crushes the root of the milk tooth. Some people are born without adult tooth buds. Count yourself lucky :/
How can you tell if a tooth is an adult one?
How old are you? If you are young (under 12 or 13 years old) and if you haven't hit the tooth lately, then it's probably a baby tooth. It is rare for a child to have a loose adult tooth. If you are an adult and have a loose tooth, it could be gum disease.
