Question
what is the reason that my 5years &8 months daughter's 5 milk teeth have already fallen & 1 tooth is shaking ?is it normal or a problem?

Answer
sometimes kids start losing their primary or baby or milk teeth by age 5. they may be done losing all of these by age 10. other kids still do not start until 7 or 8 and not be done by 14. each child is different. do not worry. this is very normal and within the normal range.
