staceyobu Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Is this normal? Or should I be freaking out? I told her it was okay. She's freaking out... and I sorta am too! I'm not ready for this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy22alyns Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Becca lost her first tooth just a couple of months after she turned 5. I wasn't ready for it either! I'm dreading Sylvia losing her first tooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leila Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Yes, it is normal. This is the age when they start falling out. Usually girls are a little bit early than boys. I remember a month ago when my 5 y/o son got his first dental xray and the dentist told me that most of his bottom teeth are ready to pop out so he gave me a heads up that anytime soon teeth will start fallling out . Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I was just like you! A few months ago, right after my 5 year old DD turned five, her bottom tooth fell out. Then, a few days later, her other bottom tooth fell out. I wasn't expecting that till 6 or 7 years old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingersmom Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 My daughters teeth fell out fast and furious. Almost always it was 2 at a time. I had to keep gifts from the tooth fairy in stock because they just randomly fell out with little/no warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staceyobu Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Okay... breathing a sigh of relief. She was in the bathtub and just started screaming. I turned around and she was holding her tooth. She had bit on a washcloth and it just popped right out. She started sobbing... then I started sobbing... I'm never gonna see that cute mouth full of baby teeth again. My crying definitely didn't help things. Way to go, mom. :glare: She hadn't complained of it being loose so I was just totally shocked!

Tabrett Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 My oldest dd's first tooth fell out at 4. My dd, who just turned 6 last week has already lost 6 teeth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cindie2dds Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I wasn't ready either! On my dd's 5th Birthday, her bottom tooth was loose. We went into the dentist a couple of months ago and her 6 year molars are already in! All four of them. :( This is my first baby..... wow, where does the time go?

AuntieM Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Oooo, thanks for reminding me it's time to get that last baby-tooth-smile portrait. My almost-five dd may surprise me, two of her siblings lost their first at age 5. My oldest lost about 6 teeth in a month. One night as I was tucking him in, he said, "Mom, could you just tell the Tooth Fairy to skip the money and just put that Hot Wheels car from the kitchen drawer under my pillow?" :lol: He was so darn cute... and now he's about a month away from 15 and has a beautiful permanent tooth smile to replace the pearly baby one.

Desert Rat Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 My 9 yo only has one baby tooth left. He's lost them all naturally starting at 5y 1 mo. FWIW, his bottom 2 teeth erupted on the same day when he was 13 weeks old. Give this champion nursing momma a round of applause! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofkhm Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 a week before she turned 5. Completely normal as far as I am concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterbabs Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Totally normal. In my experience, kids who get their baby teeth early tend to loose them early. Several dentists have agreed with my theory. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cera Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Yup, we were just at the dentist last week, a week after my 5 year olds birthday. He said early in, early out when it comes to teeth (her bottom and top fronts are all loose). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I lost my first two teeth at four. Did she get her teeth early as well? I've heard that is often a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elw_miller Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 My daughter is also 4 and she just lost one of her bottom teeth. The one next to it is loose. Some kids just lose teeth early, especially if they get their teeth early. My dd got her first baby tooth at 3 months. Our dentist said it was fine and a child development site I looked at when the tooth was loose but hadn't fallen out yet said it was normal, too; early, but normal. Here comes the Tooth Fairy! Have fun! :) (My mom gave our dd fairy stickers for the special occasion.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
