Milk teeth: not falling out and hurting

[MamOfTwo]

DD(7) still hasn't lost any teeth. Bottom middle two have been loose for months and are now very wobbly. The two adult teeth are very clearly visible behind the baby teeth. She has just started complaining they are hurting (milk ones, I think). Is it normal that milk teeth hurt before they fall out? Shouldn't they have fallen out by now? It really has been months and everyone else in her year has lost several teeth! Should I take her to the dentist before our booked appointment in a couple of months?

Any advice, anyone? Thanks in advance.

My Ds didn't loose any teeth until he was about 7 so it's not that unusual. I would be surprised if it is the milk teeth hurting - especially I they are that loose as they don't have roots etc. It's possibly the gum being sore from the wobbly tooth, or where the new tooth is breaking through. Both my DCs have found the baby teething powders helpful at times when new teeth have been making them miserable. I would encourage her to give them a good wobble to get them out or give her lots of toffee.

Take her to the dentist, they can probably remove the teeth which are hurting quickly.

If they are really wobbly I should think it will be soon.

DD1 had her two adult teeth through ages before the others fell out. Dentist said it was fine.

Thanks all! Update: first tooth fell out a few days after this thread, then a trip to the dentist next day saw him pull out the second tooth (eww!) I got the impression the dentist thought I should have taken her sooner as they had been so wobbly for so long and the adult ones had grown up behind. Whipping them out gives the adult ones a chance to move forward now apparently.
