Is this normal 9 year child tooth pain behaviour?
On Saturday night, DD who is about to turn 10 comlained that her teeth were hurting when she chewed on hard things. It seemed to be a general sensitivity thing, not confined to one area. Then yesterday we were out at a party for lunch and she bit down on something hard and complained she had cracked a tooth and was still complaining about the tooth sensitivity. She went on to eat cheesecake, lemon tart, fruit salad and black forest cake after that so things can't have been too bad :lol:. But by 8pm that night her first molar on the bottom left had completely fallen out!!! It left a really red raw gap and she swears it was not loose this morning. Today the gap is still quite red and bloody. So I guess she really gave it a good knock when she was eating and it was probably not quite ready to come out but did.
Looked up on the internet and ages 9 to 11 is when it is supposed to come out so I guess that is OK but I really wondered about the general teeth soreness/sensitivity. Do your older children complain of that when they are about to lose their teeth. I thought it might be the new tooth pushing through that they are feeling but they can't quite pinpoint where the pain is?
