and the grown-up teeth have come in for both of them. But now the second grown-up tooth is loose. Has anyone had this happen? I called our dental clinic and will take her in for sick-call first thing on Monday but was wondering if this has happened to anyone elses child. She has no cavities or decay whatsoever on any of her teeth, and no gum problems, and I take her for her regular dental check-ups. She doesn't go around eating candy all the time and only drinks milk or water so I don't think we're doing anything that would harm her teeth. I'm so distressed by this, it's a brand new tooth!

See the dentist on Monday, it could be a number of things. They will probably need an x-ray. Don't worry, it is probably nothing.

Ive heard of it happening. Some teeth are just not set right in the mouth and they come in wrong. Sometimes I feel like my teeth are loose. But it last light a day. Just make sure your daughter is carefull tell you get to the denist on monday.

It is normal for teeth to have slight mobility to them. I would still however take your daughter and have it checked on Monday. Make sure that she is not "wriggling" this tooth in the mean time.

She may have two sets of baby teeth. My son had this...also he was born with no wisdom teeth. This could be the case, but check with your dentist just to make sure.

Yes to my 7 year old. The tooth eventually did strengthen after I took her to the dentist.
Until it does get to that point, limit her juice and pop intake as well. The sugar slows down the hardening process.

Don't stress, it's bad for you, bad for your child, bad for your life. Rely upon and follow the advice of your child's health care professionals and take comfort in the wonderful advice from these people who answered your question, from your friends, and from the women in your life who have been there.
Remember, there isn't anything going on with your child that is new or different, it's all just new and different to you.

I really don't think that is that abnormal. My son's did that also, and they all tightened up. It's just the gums adjusting to the new, larger size teeth.

could it be that she has two sets of baby teeth? My sons father did, he lost his teeth twice before his permanent teeth came in.

It's just normal, so relax. Now think, if she doesn't drop her baby teeth, how can she grow her permanent teeth?

my daughter loosed one of her teeth just by wiggling it (it was one of her baby teeth). so unless she has fallen or been hit my guess would be the above
