Tooth fell out at 5,5, ok?

Oh I'm freaking out a bit. My little one was just eating dinner and then all of a sudden her tooth became loose and is now only half there. It is a middle at the bottom. She was only chewing broccoli 😱
Is it a norm? To loose teeth so early? She is 5,5

She got them early too. At 4 months she had her first one.

Normal. My eldest was quite late so it did take me by surprise when second lost her first at 5!

5 is normal. My 7 year old has lost 8 baby teeth now

My daughter is 5 and had just lost her sixth baby tooth. She has two adult teeth fully grown in at the bottom, two top teeth half grown in and the two at the sides at the bottom coming in, pushing the 7/8th baby teeth out (so they will be soon).
She had three baby teeth by the time she was four months old. They have fallen out in the order they grew in as a baby. She has a kids electric toothbrush for age 6+ (which she’s now used to using) since she’s ahead of schedule and has adult teeth. We thought this might help her keep all the nooks and crannies clean. Oral hygiene is great. She’s an Aries so I just joke that she wanted to be first 😆

Yes it is surprising but normal. I thought 7 was the age to lose teeth but I volunteered in reception class at school and teeth were lost by 5 year olds then my DDs first two fell out aged 5 too.
