My daughter is 4 and her top front tooth is loose. I know everyone is different but her sister did not lose her first tooth until she was 6 and it was on the bottom. Just wanting some answers to find out if it is normal or if I should contact her dentist.

The usual tooth to lose first is a lower central incisor and this is usually lost at age 5 or 6. The upper teeth come a few months later, if your child read the textbook. (haha) 4 years and 0 months is kind of early to lose any tooth without a reason and I think this warrants a visit to the dentist to see what's going on.

I was around 4 when I started losing teeth. I lost top first, but every kid is different about that. Unless there is evidence of an injury causing it, there is no need to get a dentist involved. Just get ready for a visit from the tooth fairy!

Between 6 and 8 is about normal for starting to lose. (possible to be early or later though) They usually fall out in the same order they came in. Usually bottom first. I didn't lose any though until after I was 10 and the dentist pulled some to jump start the rest getting loose.

I remember that I lost my first tooth when I was around 4 or 5. So it should be perfectly normal. I think that I lost my bottom teeth first, but it doesn't matter which one comes out first. They'll grow back again, all the same. Hopefully the tooth fairy visits your daughter :)

I was 4 or 5. I remember my bottom tooth was loose and my mom tied a string around it and tied the other end to a doornob and slammed the door shut. Ah, typical 80s parenting. ;) That was a joke.
Anyway, your daughter seems to be the right age for a loose tooth.

Well, for my son, he lost his top teeth when he was 5. Every child are different so maybe she is little early than others. Like my son, he started to had his first tooth when he was 3 month!!

If she has not bumped her mouth don't worry about it. The permanent tooth is just pushing to get out causing the baby tooth to loosen up. Like you said everyone is different.

It's a year early but I wouldn't fret over it. Nice little tooth fairy stories yay! Just make sure her teeth gets taken care of and flossed and cleaned... and make sure she doesn't get any habits that might shift the movement of her teeth such as sucking on thumbs, etc. aaawwww how cute! It's normal I think.
:)

it is usually 6 or 7 i thought but i would just ask her dentist but since it is not an adult tooth just ask him but do not be really that much concerned bc it also just a baby tooth but just ask just incase it is more then that.
