Losing baby teeth
That first loose tooth can be exciting to some children, but upsetting to others. Children need to be reassured that losing baby teeth is a natural process and that new adult teeth will come in their place. The first tooth to fall out, or exfoliate, is usually one of the lower front teeth. This generally occurs at six to seven years of age, with girls experiencing loose teeth earlier than boys. Up to a year or two earlier or later than this age could be perfectly normal for your child.


Doesn't sound like anything to worry about.
