Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Hello all, My daughter is already 7 1/2 and does not have even a hint of a loose tooth in her mouth. Her classmates have been losing teeth since the beginning of kindergarten (she is in 2nd grade) and I know there is a range of ages for loosing teeth, but am still anxious. I know they are under there because we had to get an adenoid x-ray when she was 4. I was wondering if there is anecdotal information of children losing teeth at earlier and earlier ages (like the onset of puberty coming earlier for many kids)? I have always been careful to feed my kids organic foods, hormone-free dairy products and meats, and good nutrition in general. Although she must have a genetic predisposition to late dentition, I've begun to wonder if perhaps it's normal to lose teeth this late and the other kids around her are losing them too early because of the hormones in their diet? I think I lost mine in the late 2nd or 3rd grades (looking back at photos) but I don't recall that being " late " at the time. Any ideas?
