Off the topic, but you can go into your settings and make it so you don't get an email everytime you get an answer... then you can just check a day or two later and get all the answers you need.
But, to answer your question...
Every person is different. And 5 is not too young to begin losing teeth. (I'm a dental hygienist)

She will lose her deciduous teeth at ages 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11 respectively, give or take a few months. In response to that, her permanent teeth will erupt at the ages of 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13. Her wisdom teeth will erupt only after 18 yrs of age.
If there is any related itching or irritation, warm saline gargles will resolve it. Regular gum massage will also help her teeth to erupt. If the permanent teeth start erupting before the deciduous teeth are shed, it will lead to defective alignment, and it is a cause for visiting the dentist.
Good luck.

If it fell out in its own it is normal. To avoid crooked teeth or ortodontic treatment on the future, take her in to her dentist. Make sure her permanent tooth is coming soon. If it is not, consider paying for a space maintainer. The longer it takes for a tooth to come out, the less space it will have. If there is not enough space for it, it either comes out crooked or malpositioned. The purpose of a space maintainer is to keep that space open for when the tooth comes out.

Nope... She's right on schedule! Should be her, front upper tooth, right? Once those are gone, then the lower centrals will be next in line to come out! So cute....

Thats the age she should start losing teeth. Watch how fast she will mature now...this is the time when you should really help her to become a better reader.

my 5 year old has her 2 front bottom teeth almost completely out. it's fine. the earlier the kid gets the teeth, the earlier she looses the teeth.
