And my uber-sensitive DD1 won't eat anything because she doesn't like the way it feels! AArrrggghhh!!! How long does it take for them to fall out? She's driving me bonkers!

Surely my DD isn't the first child on MN to have lost a tooth?

Please someone tell me how long it takes from proper wobbliness to falling out? Please?

Mine usually took about a week. And eating helped mine along I think. One came out while eating a choc bar, another while eating ice cream (no I don't understand that one either!)

It can take a while, IME. A few weeks from first noticable wobble to tooth actually coming out.

Interested in this thread?

Well I'm 19 now so it's been a while since mine wobbled. I'm sure it didn't take that long though...maybe I've forgotten!

oh no! A week sounds great, but 'a few weeks' sounds very depressing :-( She's going to waste away to nothing! The only thing she can manage eating is chocolate, apparently .

I'm just going to have to keep my fingers crossed she either gets used to it quickly, or it falls out quickly!

It varies. A lot.

My dd's teeth have taken anything from a week to 3 or 4 months to fall out. I guess it depends how quickly the tooth behind is growing and whether it is in the 'right' place to push it out?
