My 5 year old has her first loose tooth. Question...?

Dentist can help you.

It's normal. Teeth will fall out when they need to fall out and new tooth will come when they are ready to come.

The reason a tooth becomes loose is because the permanent one under it is pushing it out.

Just make sure you teach your daughter how to brush her teeth and get her in the habit because these permanent one's are hers forever.

No need to loosen it. The child will mess with it so much that it will loosen without you doing anything.

That is perfectly normal and perhaps the reason why the baby tooth is loose. I would take a look at it on a daily basis. If it doesn't come out on its own in a week, I would take her to the dentist and have it extracted.

Awww, her first tooth :-)

All absolutely normal. She will probably speed up the process herself by wriggling it. Mine did. Better research the going rate for the lost tooth. You have a new job. You are now the tooth fairy!

The tooth will come out when it's ready. If it looks like the baby tooth isn't able to come out, then take her to the dentist and he can see if it needs to be pulled or not.

Its sounds very normal

I myself lost my tooth in preschool when i was 5-nothing to worry about.

The tooth itself will loosen at its own pace seeing as the other tooth is right behind it

let nature take its course but a little tip raw carrot or celery may help if the tooth is very loose , if she is in a lot of pain, then consult dentist

This is totally normal! My teeth started growing in before the temporary ones got loose! She just has what's called "fast teeth". At least I think that's the proper term. LOL! Hope this helped you! :)

The tooth will come out. If you are really that concerned, take her to the dentist. They'll get it out quickly and efficiently without the drama you'll get at home trying to get it out.

I'd consult a dentist 1st, but I'm sure that the new tooth would need room to grow in straight

Yes it's normal. You may want to speed up the loosining because the tooth growing in behind could get crooked! Hoe I Helped!
