Which teeth do they loose first?

[rose]

I don't know where to put this??

My ds is 5 1/2yrs. He tells me tonight while eating an apple that he has a sore tooth. Upon checking he has a wobbly bottom front tooth. He has not bumped it and he has not lost any teeth yet. I had thought the top teeth were to go first. What has your experience been?

Thanks

The two bottom ones for us.

hi there, its just an individual thing, my son also lost both his bottum teeth at the same time, i was completly freaked out as this is my eldest and his adult teeth started to come up way before the others came out, i think in the end they where total up before the babys came out!!. But the dentist reasured me this is totally normal. Good luck with the teeth

Usually its bottom 2 first, I teach yr 1 so they are all constantly losing teeth ATM and they have all lost the bottom ones 1st. I bet he is excited.

Wow, how exciting. So how long do we expect before it falls out? I am sure all children are different but is it likely to be out tomorrow or would it take days ~ week? I cannot remember that far back when I lost mine.

Mine always came out really fast because once they started to wobble I just kept niggling away at them until they came out.

My son has lost his teeth in the order they came in.. Infact he just lost tooth number 8 today He is very excited lol..

how exciting for you.. I don't know about you but it always such a special time.. introducing the tooth fairy (if thats what you do)

Depends on how long he fiddles with it and how loose it is now, I have had kids who can take weeks with a wobbly tooth! I think every day someone in my class tells me thye have lost a tooth- they get so excited about it,if they lose it at school I put it in a little bag for them or stick it to a piece of paper with their name and the date on it.
If you are doing the tooth fairy work out in advance how much she "pays" I got so excited with my DD's first tooth lost I gave her $2 and this was 11 years ago! Unfortunately or me she lost her 2nd tooth the next day and I only had another $2 coin so a pattern of expensive teeth was set LOL (I know it isn't much now but then it was a lot more)

Well the tooth is still there but wobbly. We got a fantastic book called wibbly wobbly. Great for first time teeth losers. It has all settled down too as he is not playing around with it like he was last week. I wander how long it will take to fall out.

Thanks all.

Well the tooth was encouraged out a few days later and a new one can be seen. Very exciting, the next one to it is on its way out now. Although ds is now sick of wobbly teeth, he wants a rest from it all. Thanks for the advice all.
