Can a wobbly tooth at 4.9 be normal?

[DontCallMeBaby]

DD has a wobbly tooth, which I am about but she is completely ... but she's not even 5 until March, and everything I've read talks about losing baby teeth at 6 or 7. It's one of the 'right' teeth, ie bottom centre incisor (possibly even the first one that came through, all of about five minutes ago it seems, sniff). She did get teeth early (four months) but I could do with some reassurance that children really can lose their baby teeth this early, and that I don't need to rush her off to the dentist!

not unusual - many of dd's friends lost them in Reception

They start losing them in reception...so perfectly normal.

My DTDs are 7.6 and one has lost 5, another 7.

I think that new ones don't come through until they are closer to 6....

my dd has just lost one of her bottom front teeth, she is 4.5... I was also quite . I was told that her grown up teeth wouldn't come through until around 6, however, there is a large tooth currently poking through her gum... My dd also had her first tooth at 4 months, I did call the dentists and they reassured me that it was perfectly normal etc etc

I am duly reassured! So we could have a gappy little smile for quite a while? Aw. I suspect she'll be quite a celebrity at school, they're a very young class (75% summer babies) so she may well be the first with a wobbly tooth.

Ds lost his first when he was still 4 ... and he wasn't a specially early teether as a baby either. MN was the perfect resource for me on that - I sat down & trawled the archives, and ended up completely reassured. Do have a look through if you want more certainty.

It was a bit of a shock to me when ds3 lost his first tooth at just turned 5 as my older 3 didn't lose any teeth until they were all around 7. All perfectly normal apparently.

How strange that this thread has come up now. DS1 has his first wobbly tooth at 5.4. I though he was quite young. He is not excited, he doesn't like it at all. He doesn't like change much and I knew he'd be like this.

I am trying my hardest to make him excited about it.

Bink, I had a quick search, but my ability to construct search terms failed me!

Aw, Regina, poor little boy. DD is quite funny about change, she was thrilled to be leaving nursery (I was in bits) and excited about school, but once it was clear she was in for the long haul got VERY nostalgic about nursery. I can imagine her being very sad about her tooth once it actually falls out.

Thank God for Mumsnet!! Have just nearly had a fit in the bathroom when I checked DD's (5 next month) left bottom incisor (if that makes sense : ) ) tooth and found it to be slightly wobbly! She has been saying for a few days that it hurts a bit when she is brushing it - thought she might be pressing too hard with brush and didn't think for a second she might have first wobbly tooth until some instinct made me actually check tonight. Like OP I was : ( - she is my baby, how can she be losing milk teeth already? - actually felt a bit tearful but now feel vastly reassured : )
DD was quite pleased about it and wanted to know if it will fall out tonight : o - apparently one of her best friends at school has already lost two. DD was an early teether - first tooth came through a week before she turned 4 months - and it is actually the first tooth she got that is the loose one now.
What is the going rate for the tooth fairy these days? I think we used to get 10p a tooth!
