My four year old son is losing teeth ?
Yes, teeth as in plural . For a long while, his teeth had been spacing to the point that his two front bottom teeth were unsightly in my little boy`s mouth . Then one day, he lost one while eating a granola bar, I had a public health nurse check his mouth and she told me the bottom incisior beside it was also very wiggly, and it fell out that night, and now the two beside the central bottom incisors are wiggly . He is only four years old ( 5 at the end of June ) . He lost his top front teeth in an accident when he was 3 . Does anyone have any relative stories ? I`m a big baby about these things, so he has a dentist appointment Tuesday, I`d just like some advice and opinions to tide me over until then .
Thanks in advance and God bless ! <3

It seems pretty normal. Everyone matures at different ages. I lost my first tooth at 4, and things turned out well. If your son's been ahead at things like walking, talking, growing teeth, then he's probably an early bloomer and will go through these changes earlier than most kids which is why it seems abnormal now. He will most likely go through puberty earlier too.

Did he get his first tooth before 4 months? If so, this is probably okay. I have a friend whose kids all got their teeth early (their whole set, including molars, by 12 months) and now they are losing their teeth very young (age 4 1/2). If you notice the permanent teeth coming in behind them, then it's fine. I would go to a dentist anyway, just to make sure. It is surprising the two next to them are already wiggly.

Well assuming that they are baby teeth this could just be a cause of his teeth moving slightly but since he lost some in the accident it is much more noticeable and the are not shifting correctly. The dentist might tell you he needs spacers and probably then put braces on his permanent teeth. Glad I could help.
Source(s): I'm 14 and I had pretty much the exact same situation. I lost my front teeth and then the rest wen along with them and my dentist put a spacer on and now i currently have braces - Anonymous1 decade ago
Definitely go to a dentist; but know that kids get their teeth at different ages, and they lose them at different ages. Doesn't mean anything is wrong...we are all different.
