Teeth Falling Out When?

[Ness]

Hi I have a 5 yr old boy and all of his friends teeth have started falling out, But alas lil mans teeth have not yet and i wanted to know when your kids teeth started falling out? He is very upset the tooth fairy can not come to him yet!!! ;(

My grand-daughter is the same :O Her :D are still firmly in place and she is 5 :dk: I am assured by my daughter that around 6 is when they should start losing their :D

My boys are the same but I can't remember how old they were when it started. I do remember theough that as soon as there is only a slight wiggle, they will play and play and play with it for ages until it comes out :eww:

Hayden is 6 and he hasn't lost any either. Well apart from the one he had pulled out when he was 2. That gap helps him feel not so left out.

Both he, and Emily didn't get any teeth until they were 14mths old. They say the longer it takes to get them, the longer till they loss them.

Thats right, Leigh. That is what I have heard, too. Also - they lose them in the order that they get them, or pretty much so, anyway.

Both he, and Emily didn't get any teeth until they were 14mths old.

Wow!! Thats a long time without teeth!! I cant remember how old Amy was when she started getting teeth, but I do know that she was a late starter, too. Lil Pete has had the startings of a tooth for ages - its there, it just wont come through!!

I wouldnt worry bout when they lose their teeth. Its just that the toothfairy has enough teeth for the moment - what with all the friends losing them, she is just full up at the moment!! She doesnt need another extension on her house, just yet!! LOL

I've heard this too....means better teeth according to some people too!

Gabby was nearly 6 when she lost her first tooth and almost 1 year when it arrived. Laura was 51/2 when she lost hers. Laura didn't even know that she had a lose tooth, I found it one night while I was brushing her teeth.

I have known some children who are 7 years before that first tooth comes out.

Here's hoping that the tooth fairy makes a visit really soon.
