.....Is the average, normal, healthy kid supposed to start loosing baby teeth? My boy is 4 1/2 and his two front teeth are loose. Is that okay?
He has beautifulul, healthy white teeth that he/we brush every day.

Between 4 and 5 years. But it can happen a little later.

Sure it happens at his age. It's more common at the age of 6 or 7. I am a Pre-K Teacher and there are a few children in my class that have loose teeth at that same age.

wow thats a very young age. I lost my first tooth when I was likme 6 or 7. But it really doesnt matter it just depends on every kid. It couldnt be that it fell out casue its rotten becasue u said they were very healthy and white. Maybe you should consult ur denstist if u think this is a really big deal. But dont worry I'm sure nothings wrong!

I think that is ok. Kindergarten is normal for kids to lose teeth, so depending on when his birthday is, he's about 6 months from kindergarten age.

From what the dentist told me when my baby started losing his (he was 5), it can be influenced by genetics. Did you or his dad lose your teeth early? Best bet is to take him to a dentist to make certain there's nothing wrong, though.

it sounds normal to me.. i lost mine when i was 5 years old. if you are still concerned id recommend taking him to the dentist for a check up.. make sure all his teeth are in good shape.

It may be only slightly early, but still within the accepted normal range.
