Baby teeth dropping out at 4?

Anyone else with children whose baby teeth have dropped out at 4/5? My niece lost her first tooth at 4.6 years and several more have followed since then (she's now 5.2). It's no big deal (I don't think!) but we weren't expecting it until at least 6! Her older sister is 6.6 and they're going through it at the same time :)

Yep, ds1 started shedding his milk teeth at 4.5. Ds2 at around 6.

Dd lost her first tooth just before she was 5. She'd lost 8 teeth by her 7th birthday.

Ah wow! Learn something new every day! I thought they were always around 6/7 :)

it depends how early they got them as a baby too. Ds got his first teeth at just under 6 months and has lost his first tooth at 5.3 years. My niece didnt get her first teeth till over 1 year and was late losing them too

I started at 4. My last teeth to grow were the wisdom ones, finished by 17. Early but not unheard of.
(I am 43 soon and still have all 32 of them Wink)

Agree Seona. My ds1 cut his first at 4 m.
