How old are you when you lose your first tooth?!
Question:
How old are you when you lose your first tooth?
I have a 5 year old daughter who has a loose tooth in the front. Isn't it too early for her to be losing her baby teeth?
Answers:
Well you are talking averages. Despite what everyone is saying the average age is 6. When I was a dental student they used to tell us to remember the rule of sixes...at 6months you normally get a tooth...at 6 years you normally get your first adult tooth and at 12 years you get your second set of molars (at 18 is when the wisdom teeth can arrive).
Having said this these are just averages. I have seen kids not get teeth until they were 7 and yet I have seen early 5 year olds get them. If a baby tooth is lost early though...the adult tooth will erupt sooner.
Assuming we are talking about the front two teeth (most likely on the bottom) you need not worry everthing is fine :)
Good Luck
