My son is four (will be 5 in August), and has a loose tooth. Barely loose, but loose. Is this too early? About a year ago he hit this tooth when he and his father were playing, and it has always been a little darker than the rest. Any information is appreciated.

There will be another to take it's place, dont worry. My daughter had 2 front teeth accidently knocked out at 5 and one recently just grew in at age 7 1/2.

I don't think that is too early. All children are different. My daughter started losing hers about 5. I have heard it depends on if they got their teeth early or late but I don't know how true that is. That tooth could have been slightly injured from hitting it but his new one should come in fine. Good luck to you.

My son lost his first tooth when he was 6. But just like babies get teeth in at different ages......kids lose them at different ages. I you are concerned I would take him to a dentist for a check up.

My daughter started losing her baby teeth at 4. Just make sure that a dentist checks out your son to see if his permanent tooth has any trauma to it.

My son accidentally knocked a tooth out at 5. Immediately after that they started falling out left and right. His dentist said that it was perfectly normal. Every child is different, but I wouldn't worry if I was you.

I was concerned myself when my 3rd child started losing her teeth at 5. Her siblings were 6 and 7 when they lost their first teeth but I checked with our dentist and he said it was fine. She's 10 now and STILL losing teeth!! I'm concerned all over again! :)

My son started to loose his teeth just before his fifth b-day, it's normal.
