wobbly tooth....

[Lilly-Pilly]

OKay, Ashlea has woken up this morning to tell me her tooth is wobbly. I didn't believe her until i felt it and sure enough it is wobbly!!

Here comes the geeky stage of gappy smiles and huge big adult teeth growing!

How old were your kids when their first tooth fell out, and how long does it take usually from the first signs of wobbles til the tooth actually comes out??

I'd better get onto the portrait photo's before they fall out!!!

Paris currently has a wobbly tooth too. So I'll be interested to hear responses too

One tip... Don't let her eat apples with her wobbly tooth the amount of times my cousins lost teeth in apples that got swallowed or thrown out LOL!

*hugs*

Lindsay is over 6 and his don't look like budging yet. From memory, I remember sometimes it could take ages for the tooth to finally fall out, depending on how much you could wobble it yourself without your mum seeing you LOL.

I'm hoping it takes ages!!! I've been dreading this stage for so long!

hi there my ds lost his first tooth, 3 days after his 5th birthday (he did however get his first tooth at 12wks), i find with my son that his tooth will be wobbly for quite some weeks before it actually falls out. my son has just turned 7 and lost his 6th tooth on thursday and he has a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge gap at the front and is talking with a cute lisp. he has lost the four bottom ones and the top two ones.

the new ones to seem to take ages to grow.

cailin, i give my ds apples to encourage the wobbly tooth to come out lol, it is better than him flicking the tooth backwards and forwards with his tongue GROSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS lol.

this latest tooth came out when he was playing footy at school and there was quite a bit of blood, so he took it like it was some football injury - arhh boys you gotta love em.

They can lose their first tooth any time from about 4 to 7 yrs, my DD1 was 5 and DD 2 was 6. My brother lost his first tooth at 7 1/2. the peak age seems about 6, my yr 1 class lose a lot of teeth LOL. DD lsot her 2 front teeth at the end of last year and it has taken 6 months to even get one new one grown! She hasn't been able to eat apples or corn on the cob since October LOL

My son Ethan was in year 2 before he lost his first tooth.. It was wobbly for months, yet all the other teeth have wobbled for a day or 2 then fallen out.. So just a year after his first tooth fell out we are now up to 5 and another 2 wobbling. Also big teeth at the back just started coming in..

As for growing back Ethans first couple of teeth grew back within a week or 2 yet his 2 front teeth are still empty even 3 months later

My nephew had a wobbly tooth and lost it the next day. He is only 5 and a bit..
