roughly

are we talking a couple of weeks, 4 weeks?

DD has her firdt wobbly tooth

also are there any simple books about teeth falling out? she is nearly 6 but has special needs, I am rather dreading it being really wobbly and actually faling out

i think ELC have some social stories and im fairly certain that therer was a tooth fairy one.
it depends on how wobbly it is, and how much fiddling happens as to how long it will be before it falls out.

DS was 6 when his first wobbly tooth arrived and he was terrified (he has ASD) but when we explained that a new one would grow and that he can put the old one under his pillow for the tooth fairy he seemed ok with it.
it helped that a few of the other children in his class also had missing/wobbly teeth so when he was showing everyone the hole he had they showedhim theres too.....for once he felt included.
