My dd will be 5 next week.Tonight noticed that her two bottom teeth are wobbly. Could she be loosing these teeth already? She got her first teeth (those 2 as it happens) when she was 4 months old.

yes. sometimes depends on the age when first teeth appeared.
3 of my children got teeth at 3 months, so started to loose them at 5.

My son got his first teeth at 12 weeks and started losing them at 4.

There are several children in ds1's reception class who have lost some of their milk teeth, some are not yet 5 so it can't be too uncommon.

DS lost his first 2 teeth at 4yrs. It seemed early but we put it down to him being a tall boy for his age.

Two of mine started losing their baby teeth at 4 and i think they got their first teeth at about 4 months.

Yes, a child in DS's class lost milk teeth at 4.
