my sons bottom 2 teeth are moving at 4 yrs old?

OK, so he will be 5 on the 30th of this month, but is it normal that both his bottom teeth are moving already? I noticed this when he started kindergarten last month and i thought maybe i wasnt taking care of his teeth the right way!!!!

Is this the normal age for kids to start having loose teeth and losing them? I thought it was around 6 or 7 years old!

Thanks! (am i being a paranoid crazy mommy?????)

I definitely remember a few kids in my kindergarten class losing teeth. 5-6 is usually the age when that starts, sometimes as early as 4 though.

My 6 year old lost two teeth by 4.5 years old. She lost 8 teeth before her 6th birthday. She had 4 adult teeth by 5.5. My other DD just turned 5 and has no loose teeth in sight.

A little girl in my preschool class (4years old) just lost her 1st tooth this past week. It was one of the front bottom ones.. I thought it was kinda early for them to start to loss them but i guess its not..

DD lost her first tooth right before she turned 5. Now (a year later) she has lost at least 8 teeth and her top two middle and 4 bottom middle adult teeth are pretty much grown in.

She did get her baby teeth early too though - her first at 5 months and she had her one year molars come in at 10 months.

From what I have seen from her classmates, at this point (the beginning of first grade) some kids have lost a bunch and some not so many - totally depends on the kid.
