  4. well my son turns 1 today and he hasnt even got his teeth yet so when you find out can you tell me too?! ;) cheers

  5. All kids are different but they will start to get teeth coming in at age 6 sometimes kids get there 1st molars in at 5. There baby teeth start to fall out from there. All the baby teeth should be gone by age 12.

  6. my 7 yr old girl has lost at least 6. She lost one last week and another is already falling out. I think she enjoys pulling her teeth out. She thinks she's tough and wiggles them loose

  7. i lost all of mine by age 9  :)

  8. The average age for a child to lose a tooth is around 6 yrs old.  He/She will likely lose the front lower teeth first, followed by the lower laterals or upper centrals.  3.5 is a bit young for a child to lose a tooth naturally.  I'll assume that she bumped it recently and has made it loose.  This occurs often and I wouldn't be too worried, especially if she is not in any pain and there does not seem to be any soft tissue trauma.  However, I do recommend seeing a dentist.  The American Academy of Pediatrics and American Academy of Pediatric Dentists both recommend the first dental appointment to be by the age of 1 or by the eruption of the first tooth, whichever comes first.  

    I've included a great exfoliation/eruption chart.  Exfoliation means to lose a tooth naturally.  Hope this helps!
