That's what the community dentists said to me - or rather the other way round as DS1 was relatively late - over 10 months with the first and they said that was good because his second teeth would be later too, so his mouth would be bigger and therefore less risk of overcrowding problems (especially good news for me as I had lots of teeth out to fit my petite little jaw, haha! Even now my teeth are all slowly crowding in again, due to unerupted wisdom teeth that are otherwise not causing any problems and will be, to quote my dentist 'a bugger' to get out.) It's not something I've heard much about, so I'd be interested to hear what everyone else has to say. -- jennifer@... Vaudin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She cut her first teeth at 4 months (can't remember which ones but probably bottom front as they are usually the first ones to come out) and had lost some teeth by the age of 5.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2001 Report Share Posted July 15, 2001 I think that's how it works. is desperate (at 5.5) for her teeth to fall out but there's no movement yet. She didn't get her first until 10 months so I'm not anticipating them starting to fall out any time soon. Cerys -----Original Message----- Steffi seems to have a slight wobble on her bottom two teeth but she's only 4.5yo. She cut those teeth at 4mo and had, IIRC, about 12 teeth by the time she was 12mo so does this make her a candidate for early tooth-loss? -- Sue Melbourne, Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2001 Report Share Posted July 15, 2001 Yep - that's what seems to be happening here too - DD got her first tooth at 3m and lost it before she was 5 - in fact she gets v annoyed now that her friends don't realise she has already lost two teeth (at 5 1/2) - as the adult teeth have already taken their place. I was also v early to get my adult teeth - and certainly suffered orthodontically for it - though I was early enough for my brace to be a novelty rather than an embarrassment!

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2001 Report Share Posted July 15, 2001 Ellie didn`t lose any till she was at Junior school (May b'day so she was at least 7 yrs 4 mths). is going to Junior school in sept (also May b'day, she is now 7 yrs 2mths) and has lost only one, a lower one, which came out about 3 mths ago. She is desperate for the one next to it to fall out. I was always late with teeth myself, so I don`t worry, it`s just a bit less wear on their adult teeth which have got to last them a v long time!

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2001 Report Share Posted July 15, 2001 Calvin had his bottom centre teeth at 4?m and all his milk teeth by 18m. He lost the first milk tooth (one of the centre bottom ones) a week before his 7th birthday. I was a bit concerned that they were taking so long because they were actually wearing down, especially his top middle two, but his dentist wasn't bothered at all. He's 8 at the end of August and has lost about 6 milk teeth over the past year, but hasn't been very " gappy " as the second teeth seem to be in place at the most 2wks after the milk tooth has come out.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2001 Report Share Posted July 15, 2001 I cant remember when got her last milk tooth but Kieran has just got the first 2 of his last 4 molars at 2.5 yrs so I guess he'll be late getting his adult teeth too.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2001 Report Share Posted July 15, 2001 They have tooth mice in France. did all about it at French Club *and* came home with a little paper box to put her teeth in - how am I going to be able to keep that for 18 months to 2 years?

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2001 Report Share Posted July 15, 2001 When in Wales we found that the tooth fairy was far more generous than in Jersey and give a welsh £1.00 coin! and if she is ever late its because her motorbike has broken down .. don't question the reasoning of a disappointed 5yo. BTW both girls cut teeth early and lost milk teeth early.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 There is an Arthur book that we have called (I think) Arthur's Wobbly tooth, about how he was the last one in his class to lose a tooth, but his dentist reassures him (he's 7 and the dentist says he was 8 when he lost his) might be worth looking out for or you can borrow our copy! >I don't think I'll break it to that she may have to wait until she's >7.

Ha! this is a nice adaptation of the midwife in black leathers who turned up on her motorbike to birth my SIL - will have to be adapted for those rather fey fairies we have been having now that it's DS's teeth that will be a-fallin' out, still like the idea of them drinking herbal teas tho' and driving their miniscule motorbikes around the place....along the spiders webs a la Arthur Rackham!
