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.

I've only seen it apply to baby animals.
