wobbly teeth at what age?

DD is 6 and I noticed she had a wobbly tooth. It seems to have set again though as it isn't even slightly wobbly. She has had loads of falls on her teeth, the 2 front ones are completely wonky from it.

Just wondered at what age do teeth usually start to fall out? There is only one other child in her class (year 1) that hasn't lost a tooth.

I'm not worried about it or anything, just curious really!

I heard they did that TC ... take the baby's tooth out if they are born with it ... don't know why though?
My DS is 6 1/4 and is desperate to get a wobbly tooth ... most of his class have lost at least one tooth (YR 2). At least once a day he comes up to me and says, "I am sure this tooth is wobbly mummy," so I check and no, it is as solid as a rock!
I didn't start losing my teeth until I was 7 and I heard that that counts ... so I have told him not to expect much until then ...

BTW ... how much is the tooth fairy paying these days in the UK?

Dunno! She deals in fairy tutu currency in this house. Oh and fake fur stoles!

HOW did I manage to set myself up for THAT?!

Our tooth fairy pays £2 for a first tooth and then £1 each tooth after that. If the tooth is pulled out, the tooth fairy doesn't bring any money!

I don't think it makes any difference how young they get their first teeth. My ds had 2 by 4 months. He is 6 1/2 and still has no wobbly ones.

I checked DD's gum tonight and the new tooth is already there. She is so excited to have a new tooth growing! Grin
