When did you lose your first tooth?

Post Reply New Topic

I lost mine at 5. Most kids start loosing their teeth at 6, I have heard.

I have noticed that some people lose their teeth quicker than others.

I don't remember when I first started loosing my teeth or when it ended but I have this memory of having a loose tooth when I went to my grandfather's funeral and that was about a month before I was 8.

I don't remember when I lost my first tooth but I do remember that all my teeth were "late." I had to have all my baby teeth pulled by the dentist, one by one. Having every tooth in your mouth pulled out over the course of time? It's an experience. It affected me to the point that now when I get in a dental chair and they put their hands in my mouth I dissociate.

I lost my two front teeth in an accident when I was almost 3. It was so traumatic that I had serious fears about the dentist for years after. (He tried to save the teeth--much more painful than had he just numbed me up and pulled them free.) Other than that, I think I lost the rest at the regular elementary-school age.

OK, I added a "I don't remember option".

I was 4.

I don't remember. I'm gonna guess around 5 because I was at the mall when I lost the tooth. I was 5 when we moved to the city where the mall is located.

Five.

I had just turned 6 when I lost the first tooth... my sister helped me get it out using the classic string-tied-to-tooth-and-slamming-door trick.... F**k that hurt

I think I was around 7 when I lost my first one. I know the rest were late because when I got braces at 13 I had to have 2 pulled before they were put on.

Are you sure those were baby teeth? Almost everyone has their pre-molars (adult teeth) removed when they get braces. I even had a dentist look in my mouth once and say, "ah, I see you had braces," and I said, "because my teeth are so well aligned?" and he said, "no, because you don't have your pre-molars any more."

Don't remember, likely when I was 6.

I've lost my first tooth a month before my 5th Birthday.

Around 7 or 8. I was one of the last kids in my class to start loosing teeth.

5, I think.

I don't remember when I first lost my baby teeth.
