Baby teeth, how long does it take for them to all fall out?

Question

my daughter has lost five in the last three months, is that normal or should I take her to the dentist? That just seems like a little much in that period of time.

Answer 1

I can understand your concern but it is fine.  I have three sons and one of them lost 2 teeth by the time he was 5 and then didn't lose any until he was about 6.  About 4 months ago my soon to be 8 year old finally started losing his teeth...  one week he lost 2, then two weeks later within two days he lost 2 more then almost a month later with hours he lost 3!  My son who is almost 5 has not lost any teeth.  There is nothing wrong, each child is different.  I wouldn't worry unless she starts complaining.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

as long as she isn't knocking them out she should be fine.

My brother knocked one up into his head.  It came back down a few weeks later and was all black because it was dead.  The tooth finally fell out a little while later and took three years before his adult tooth came in.

Answer 3

depends, i l;ost mine wen i was in grade 5

Answer 4

Maybe she fell and hit her mouth on soemthing making her teeth loose?

Answer 5

Probably she wasn't getting enough calcium.  But not to worry, new teeth will start coming in when she's around 7.  Give her enough daily calcium intake for new stronger teeth.

Answer 6

It is normal.  When it stops will depend on how fast she is losing them.  

Answer 7

that's normal. i lost almost all of my teeth within a year in kinder garden

Answer 8

It's nothing to worry about, I lost seven of mine over three months and I have very straight teeth. I also pulled some of mine before they were ready and it had no effect whatsoever.

Answer 9

this sometimes hapens when the child drinks alot of milk, it happened to my lil sister. she 's 10 and her teeth are still falling off! and they keep growing back. its weird, but theres nothing to worry about.
