What age should milk teeth fall out?

dd is 5 in September, she is complaining of a wobbly feeling front tooth
Surely too young? I wondered if she had knocked it on something and it just feels a bit odd

Some of my DD's friends lost teeth before they were 5. DD (6) has just got her first adult tooth in, it has come in behind the baby one. Now waiting for the baby one to go.

At the other extreme my friend lost his last milk tooth when he joined the navy at 18

dd1 was 7 yesterday and still has all hers!

IT's kinda an individual thing really....
my es is 11 and still has loads of his Babyteeth and if I remember correctly he was around 6 when he lost his first one....
My ms is 4 1/4 and so far no fallen out teeth here...

ds lost his first a week before he was 5, and then shed wildly for the next six months - had no front teeth at all for a long while - but could eat an apple again by the time he turned 7. He's now 8 and there's been no sign of any further wobblers.

dd neatly lost & quickly grew her replacement lower incisors around her 6th birthday. She's now six-and-a-half and there's a hint of further wobblers but not very convincing.

Anyway, as a basic answer, the later end of 4 isn't that unusual.
