When does the first milk tooth fall? My friend's daughter who is barely five lost two of hers last week? Am afraid my four-year-old will also lose hers early.

Most children lose their first tooth at 5 or 6, some start as young as 4, Your child will usually be the first to know when a tooth is loose because she can feel it moving. Most kids are very proud when they have a wiggly tooth and will want to show it to you (and anyone else willing to look), It's totally fine for your child to play with her loose tooth -- most kids love to move them around with their tongues.

Normal age for tooth fall out is around 6 years old. Premature loss of baby tooth could be due to tooth decay or through an accident in which the teeth are knocked out, can make a child’s permanent teeth come in before they’re due. http://blog.godleystationdental.com/?p=143 You can bring your kid to visit dentist regularly to ensure the teeth are well taken care of.

Each child progresses at a different pace. Some children lose their teeth even before they turn 4 years old, whereas some children only lose their first tooth at age 5 or 6. http://sg.theasianparent.com/tooth-loss-in-children/

Its totally fine to lose teeth at age of around 5. But also make sure that there is no decay. Take her to dentist atleast once to get that confirmed
