5 milk teeth wobbled out in 2 months.... Need reassurance

Dd has just lost her 5th milk tooth in under 2 months.

She had a shark tooth but that seems to have resolved. 2nd bottom tooth wonbled out eventually but took a long time, 8 weeks or so.
Top two swiftly followed within a day of each other.

Now another bottom one is out, clearly there is not enough room for the adult bottom two so the next baby tooth in the row has also been pushed out.

And on the top, her next tooth is loose.

I am going to dentist, it's due anyway but I'm considering private for her, she has same jaw as DH and his bottom teeth are dreadful. I don't trust the NHS will do a good job.

the NHS will do a fantastic job.
Completely normal to lose 5 in a short space of time.
It's far too early to conclude there isn't room for the adult teeth
The baby teeth are supposed to fall out to make room, often two baby tooth fall out to make room for one adult tooth.
Please stop worrying. There is nothing you can do about mother nature's timing Xmas Smile
