When do teeth start to fall out, and what to look out for when they do? 🤔
👉 The first baby tooth usually falls out after the age of 5. 👈
There are two nuances to be taken into account in this sentence:
🔸 The word "usually" refers to the fact that it is the norm. There are earlier children who start at the age of 4.
🔸 The expression "from" means that it is also normal if none falls until the age of 6 or 7 years.
The only thing to watch out for is to remember to have an orthodontist check that you don't lose the tooth early, which is when the new tooth is not yet ready to come in. 👨⚕️
Or that a new tooth does not come in without losing the baby tooth first.
Because age is not a valid reference for everyone. 🦷
