DS2 (6) has just lost one of his first molars. It's been loose for a while and has just fallen out while he was eating. It isn't decayed at all, his teeth are really healthy and we go to the dentist regularly but everything I can find says the average age is 9-11 to lose these. Anyone any experience of this? Do I need to be worried? He has now got 5 gaps, having lost 4 others over the Summer, though the others were the ones you'd expect at this age.
Just for info he is dairy free (intolerant) so has soya milk, non dairy cheese / yoghurt etc. Could this be a result of calcium deficiency?
Any thoughts appreciated.
