Losing a Tooth

See Lesson Ideas for this topic

Losing teeth and growing new ones are a natural part of growing up. Most kids lose their first tooth at around six years old, but kids begin to lose their teeth at different ages. On average, girls lose their teeth before boys. Your children should not feel anxious if they haven’t lost their first tooth yet or if they are losing their teeth faster or slower than other kids. Explain that people’s bodies grow and change at different speeds.
