How many mammals (humans aside) lose their baby teeth before reaching adulthood?

It seems strange as an adult to watch my baby boy's teeth come through, knowing they will just fall out again in a few years. I just wondered about other species, and whether they also have the teething problems we have as children.

all primates have it happen. Puppies loose their teeth, and I think the same happens for kittens. I am pretty sure its a common thing in mammals in general, because as the head grows the old teeth are a bit out of place. So they are lost and replaced with permanent teeth and the molars.
