If your LO is old enough to lose teeth, how old were they when the first one came out (not counting accidents)?
My son is 6 and still has all of his teeth, and nothing is loose! But he didn't get his 1st tooth until almost 12 months, so I'm not that surprised that they aren't loose yet. At school, I've noticed that nearly all of the kids in his class have lost teeth by now.

Same with my son, nothing is wiggling and he's the exact same age as yours, I am not looking forward to the process.

DD lost her first tooth at 5 1/2 - she lost 2 more since then - all before age 6
Her top 2 teeth are slightly wiggly so they will be next

Just after 5. She lost the second one a couple of months later. The dentist said she's in the range of normal. Her permanent teeth were erupting quickly after her teeth came out.

I think we aren't to that stage yet? DD is about to be five...she's in class with kids who turned five as early as Sept 2016, and I haven't noticed any missing teeth among them. It wasn't even on my radar, and makes me kind of sad to think about!

To be fair, my son is the youngest in his class so there are kids who are already 7. Every day at pickup I notice that lots of kids are missing teeth!

4 years and 7 months, her first two bottom teeth fell out. she actually had two new teeth growing right up behind them, and once the baby teeth fell out the new ones pushed forward into position. she turns 5 in a month and her two top teeth are now wiggly.
the dentist was surprised that they came out so early, her first baby teeth came through at about 6 months.

Mine is five and nothing yet. He just had a dentist appt with x ray and they said they can predict he'll lose teeth around age seven based on how far the nerves are in the teeth, where the adult teeth are, etc. I thought that was pretty interesting!

@Mrs. Pen: our dentist was right on. He had predicted our girls bottom two would be out by her 6 month later visit. The second of the two came out one week before that visit.

My DD was a month from turning 7 before losing her first tooth. She was literally about to start 2nd grade before losing it and was so relieved. She got her first tooth around 6 months, so pretty average in getting the teeth, just late losing them.

@lamariniere: Mine is one of the oldest and there are kids that are younger that have already lost!
