Freaking out!! DD’s teeth

[tututastic]

Can anyone whose children have lost their teeth help me please? DD8 has been telling me she has a tooth loose for a while. She’s lost about 6 teeth so far, so I didn’t think much of it. No pain.

I just took a look and it’s the tooth AFTER her incisor on the top right (starting at the middle tooth and moving towards her molars). It’s almost out. Is that tooth supposed to shed???? I always assumed only the teeth between the incisors fell out.

I’ve tried googling but am too panicked to make sense of what I’m reading. Is she losing a permanent tooth??

All first teeth fall out!! You get a complete new set of adult teeth. Don't worry.

All her baby teeth will fall out eventually.

Yep, all her teeth should fall out.

Children lose all of their teeth?

I'm sorry, but this did make me chuckle!

OP, don't worry. They're supposed to come out!

All baby teeth come out 💕

Oh my goodness!!!!!!! Thank you so much everyone who answered - I don’t remember losing my own teeth and I genuinely thought flat ended teeth were permanent and sharp ended were temporary

Yes, you are looking at roughly 20 teeth coming out - all the baby teeth. Adult teeth follow over a long time

Hope you've budgeted for the tooth fairy!

I think I’ve scared poor DD as well by checking her mouth so much

They lose all 20 baby teeth. Around age 6 they get a set of 1st adult molars in addition to the original 20 teeth

Jeez, you might want to read up on periods before they start…

Sorry OP this one made me chuckle! (It's totally the kind of thing I might not know either).

I'm baffled as to where you got the pointy ended vs flat teeth theory from. Have you seen the size of adult molars?! No way they would all fit in a babies mouth.

FML.

😂😂 this made me laugh, sorry! Yes you definitely lose them all!

This is why the tooth fairy is so rich, lots of lovely teeth to pay for

Christ, even I know they all come out.

Wisdom teeth will blow your mind... 😁

At 8 she probably has 4 adult molars that erupted at about 6. Right at the back, behind her infant molars.

I'm sorry, what? How do you not know this? Hopefully you haven't scared your kid into thinking she'll be toothless her whole life.

You should Google toddler skull teeth. You will see they have a full set below their baby teeth hidden away in their head! 😅

Sorry OP but

Ok it’s not what she’s asking but not everybody loses all teeth. I still have 2 baby teeth that my dentist jokes with me about every time I see him. They’re going nowhere now. 🤣

That did make me laugh. God love you, I could feel your complete terror. Maybe have a stiff drink or a piece of chocolate to steady your nerves.

Good grief op. You could have googled this days ago instead of freaking out about it
