Is It Normal for Children to Lose Their Teeth Early?

Question

My son is less than 5 years and 3 months old and has already started losing his teeth. I took him for an X-ray, and the doctor said the tooth buds are developing normally, but I’m still very worried.

Answer

It’s normal for children to lose their teeth early, and parents should not be overly concerned. First, you need to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude. There may be various reasons for a child to lose their teeth early. If the child is diagnosed with an endocrine disorder, parents should cooperate with the doctor to seek timely treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Additionally, parents should be careful not to let their child develop a picky eating habit and maintain a balanced diet.
