and complaining they are

a sore

I know nothing about this milk tooth lark, not like I seemed to know, when she got them anyhow.

How long from wobbling to falling out??

of you even though I know that dd1 will whinge and complain when it does evetually happen
she is 8 on saturday and not a wobble in sight, she is gutted

piratecat · 24/03/2008 19:17

did she get them late ?? havwe been trying to do a bit of googling, and this seems to be a (bit misguided) theory.

Try some extra crunchy garlic bread, thats what happened here, and now she's got 3 wobblers.

I think 6 is the average to start?? I was not expecting this at all, quite sad really, but can understand what you mean with your dd being almost 8.

Hey you never know I bet it will probably happen now!!!

Yes there was quite a bit of moaning and she was scared by it

It took about 2 weeks from first wobble to coming out

just teach her to bite and chew on the side without the wobbly tooth

my parents always pulled ours out, afaik it was always at our request but still makes me feel a bit queasy. Think my ds is just going to have to deal with it like yours are! [eek]

piratecat · 24/03/2008 20:05

would they pull them at just the final hanging out stages only tho??

my ds has lost 2 so far. The first took about 2 weeks to fall out, and the 2nd took about 6 The new tooth came through in a completely different place and didn't push it out properly. It was really spooky cos every time you looked at him, his tooth was at a different angle. Really gave me the creeps

piratecat · 24/03/2008 20:13

arghh, sounds grim!!

oh god, her teeth are so nice, don't/didn't you wonder whats going to replace them!

I only show concern cos my two front top teeth are a bit rabbity!!!
