What age do kids start losing teeth?

my daughter just turned four in May. She just lost a tooth, it was wiggling last night and fell out today. i was afraid she hit it on something but swears she didnt. is it normal for a kid that young to lose teeth or would she of had to hit it for it to fall out?

What age do kids start losing teeth?
The average age to lose the first baby tooth is seven years old. Some start earlier, some start later. You say the tooth was hollow, so that would mean that the tooth was ready to come out and was not knocked out. You shouldn%26#039;t worry about anything, your daughter is just more dentally mature than the average kid.
Reply:about 5. . so yes this should be normal. Id double check..take her to a dentist they can tell if its been hit or not.(the nerve might be damaged if so) You should begin taking children to the dentist at 3 years for cleanings and exams
Reply:normally is 6 or 7. 4 seems early but anythings possible. and maybe she forgot hitting it ... ?
Reply:around 4-5 years old... their permanent teeth come in after that. If she hit it hard enough, it could loosen or even knock it out. My son knocked his front teeth out when he was 4.
Reply:its ok my 5 yr old is already lost 3 teeth its when ever they are ready to come out
Reply:they usually start at 4,5,or,6. It is perfectly normal.
Reply:they usually lose start to lose them between the ages 4 and 5. dont worry it was a baby tooth it should grow back
Reply:I would call the dentist just so they have it on record. Most kids start losing teeth about age 5.
Reply:It depends on when your teeth start growing in. Mine started growing in when I was 3 months and they all fell out but age 8. I got my 12 yrs molars at 8 to so you have to check when they first started growing in.
Reply:My son started losing his teeth at four also. I took him to the denist and everything was fine. My daughter is six and a half and has never had a loose tooth yet! It all depends on the child. You may want to take her in for a checkup just in case, but chances are, everything is fine.
Reply:Usually by 6 years of age do baby teeth start coming out... and they don%26#039;t grow back. The (two) lower front teeth are the first to be lost...





When baby teeth get loose and come out, it%26#039;s usually because their adult teeth are on their way in. The growth of the adult teeth %26#039;pushes%26#039; the baby teeth out, so they will have adequate space to erupt in to.





For your own peace of mind, bring your daughter to a dentist for an evaluation and possible %26#039;picture%26#039; of the area. If the adult tooth is on it%26#039;s way in, you%26#039;ll see it on the xray.





Good Luck!
Reply:5-7 on average
Reply:my first teeth came out when i was about six. i think it is ok. when i was in kindergarden i was always jealous of the kids who had their teeth fall out that year. its all on when the new teeth start developing
Reply:it varies from child to child
