What age did your child lose their first milk tooth?

[choccy eating monster]

DD is 4.5 and hasn't lost any yet. I haven't a clue what age kids lose them and I am too old to be remembering when I lost mine:lol:

[Rosa]

My DS is nearly 5 and he still all has his, but a few kids at nursery have lost a couple.

[Booh]

DD is almost 7 and still has all of her baby teeth.

The dentist said its better for them to drop out later as it means they are older and more able to look after their adult teeth!

[Cerise]

6 - year 1. (Girl)

7 - year 2. (Boy)

[BellaDonna]

Isabella lost her first tooth when she was about 6.5 years old.

[prettypetals]

DD1 is 6 and still hasnt lost any, but my DD2 is in nursery and a few of her 4year old friends have lost their first one (much to my DD1's annoyance:lol:)

[minime]

C still hasn't lost any of hers but one of her friends lost her first tooth just after she turned 4.5yo. C keeps asking us to check if any of her teeth are wobbly. :lol:

[bubblewrap]

DD1 is six tomorrow and still no wobblers. My friend's DS is 4 weeks younger and lost his first one a couple of months ago.

[Rosebud]

Ty was 5 1/2 when he lost his first tooth and in the following 18 months has lost 7 more :lol:

[ChelseaHarvey]

Alfie was 6 & in year 2

[donna-j]

4.5. He has lost 3 now. He is 6 in August.

[Jelly]

6-ish. He lost a few between 6 and 7.

[Skibunny]

Bronwyn's 7 and still none!

[Chickpea]

I started a thread on this a few months ago and there was a real variety of answers, some lose them really early others really late. A friend of mind posted on FB about how his son woke him at 4am to tell him he'd finally lost a tooth, he's 8!!

E (who's 5) has two slightly wobbly ones, but I think she has a way to go yet. Apparently when their baby teeth came through can sometimes determine when their adult teeth come through.

Really? Dd1 didn't get her first tooth until she was over a year old :scratchchin: she's 6.5 now and none lost, no matter how determined she is that one is wobbly!

According to my dentist :nod:
Which in your DD's case sounds about right.

DS1 is 7 and he hasn't lost any either. The dentist didn't seem overly concerned at this stage.

Snap! Jack is 7 next monday and still hasn't left one, the dentist told me the same as some of the other ladies that the later he was getting teeth the later he will be getting adult teeth, plus Jack has really good strong teeth,

[Jubjub]

5.5 for William. He lost his bottom front teeth months ago, but no sign of the adult teeth and no further wobblers, so I think it might have been caused by using his teeth to get Lego apart :lol:

That's really reassuring that Jack and a couple of others on here haven't lost any of their teeth :nod: I am positive that DS1 is the only child in his class not to have lost a tooth :smile:. DS1 has good, strong teeth too.

I had lost all my teeth by 8 so I must have lost mine from a young age.

[Minky]

No wobblers here - she was 7 two weeks ago!

[shining star]

Dylan lost his first tooth at the beginning of January, so shortly after his 6th birthday. He has now lost four - the top two in the middle and the same on the bottom.

He was quite old getting his first tooth as a baby, 8 months exactly, so I think he has lost his teeth quite early considering!

[Hello Kitty]

My dentist said that there is no relation between when they get their first teeth to when their get their second teeth. G started losing hers at four, she is now 6 and has lost 6 and has just announced another wobbly one....

[lazymummy]

DD is almost 7 and still has all of her baby teeth.


Same here with DS!

[betsy]

my dd was 6 in January and lost her first tooth yesterday! She has two other wobblers so I think the tooth fairy may be busy in the next few weeks.:smile:

[Franny]

Mine still hasn't lost any. I was late, too - about 7!!!

[Legolas]

Maddy lost her first at just over 5 and has lost now 6 in total

[LiLi]

Emma's still got all hers (although desperate for a wobbly one!), and she teethed really early (4.5m), so I'm not spotting any pattern there. On the other hand, my nephew is now 8, and also still has all his milk teeth. Mind you, he had no teeth at all until he turned one!

[lucypede]

Lucy recently lost one, age 5. In her school class about 3 or 4 have lost one or two. One girl has lost the entire lot :shock:

The dentist told me the age they lose them is related to the first age of dentition. Lucy got her baby teeth quite early (under 4 months) so we were expecting it quite early.

[scotgal]

ds is almost 6 and none of his have fallen out yet, I'm hoping they won't for a while yet!

I wonder which is right?! :lol:
