Sherry in OH Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 My 4.5 year old son has a loose tooth. I thought children lost their baby teeth sometime after age 6. Should I be concerned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I don't think you should be concerned. I had two that starting losing their baby teeth at four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Normal. My kids lost their first teeth at ages ranging from 4.5yo to 5.5yo. The neighbors, OTOH, didn't lose their first teeth until almost 8yo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherry in OH Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 Thanks. It is disconcerting to have a child running and screaming "Mommy, you have to brush my teeth right now! My teeth are rotting and are going to fall out. This one is loose." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I think it is fine. DD6 lost her first tooth around the same time she turned 5. I was a little shocked because I was thinking more around the 6-7 age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classical Country Mama Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 (edited) My daughter is 5 and has lost SIX teeth already--and has all six replacement grownup teeth at least partway in, if not all the way in--with two more loose teeth already. She is driving the tooth fairy out of business!!! As a side note, her dentist said if the baby's first teeth came in early, the child stands a good chance of losing the teeth early as well. Dd had baby teeth in at four months. My child may be a freak of nature--but I'm guessing yours is just fine!

Desert Rat Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 My oldest lost 2 teeth by his 5th bday. At 10, he's lost all his baby teeth. I only wish my youngest had it as easy as my oldest did. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
