Question
My son is less than 5 years old and 3 months, but he has already started losing his teeth. Is this normal? I took him to the doctor, and an X-ray was taken, which said the tooth buds are developing normally, but I’m still worried.
Answer
The teeth replacement process in children is a normal part of growth, usually beginning between the ages of 5 and 6. If the doctor has already confirmed that the tooth buds are developing normally, then you don’t need to be overly concerned. It’s important for parents to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude. If any issues are diagnosed, it’s essential to work with the doctor promptly for treatment and help the child establish good hygiene habits. Additionally, parents should pay attention to their child’s balanced diet, avoiding picky eating and preference for certain foods.
