My DD showed me her first wobbly tooth last night. I was a bit taken aback (i.e, horrified) as it seems very young. My DS was almost 6 before his first tooth came out.
Has anyone else a 4yo with wobbly teeth. Do girls develop quicker than boys in terms of teeth as well as so many other things?
Have called to get a dentist appt, just to check her over, but thought I'd ask if anyone else been through this.

My eldest boy had his first wobbly tooth at age 4. He's 21 with a lovely set of teeth. Grin

My DD had the two bottom front ones loose when she was 4 - I checked with the dentist who said it was on the early side of normal.

It's a good idea to check with the dentist but I expect you will be reassured that all is well Smile .

My ds lost his 2 bottom teeth at 4, I was shocked at the time as I thought it was way too young. Almost immediately he showed me that he had 3 more wobbly teeth but those have been wobbly for 9 months and only today has one of those finally come out. His twin sister has just gotten her first wobbly tooth this week at 5 1/2. I wouldn't worry about it. Some children lose them early, some late.

Thanks for reassuring me that she's not the only one.
GOt dentist booked for Monday, just to check her over anyway.

Thanks
