My daughter is obsessed with losing her first tooth. Nearly every day I get a full report of all family and friends who have lost teeth, and more teeth, before her.
I remember when I put together I was getting paid for losing teeth. I couldn't wait to lose more... and when I was about 8 years old, I had 7 teeth pulled at once. My parents felt so bad, I think I made 50 dollars. I had too many teeth for my jaw to fit, so they pulled teeth in hopes I would avoid braces. Actually, it was an awesome thing they did, because it worked - I never needed braces.
"But Mommy, when am I gonna lose a tooth? Breana lost another one. I think I feel this one is loose. Really, look, see!?"I can't even wrap my head around why - she isn't talking about the tooth fairy or the money that tooth fairy leaves behind. I think she just wants to look cool with a hole where her tooth used to be.
"Your teeth will fall out when they're ready. Don't worry... you WILL lose your baby teeth."
"But when Mommy? When?!"

What age do they normally come out? I don't remember any more. (getting old)
I think it is between 6 and 7, right? But some kids start later. I can't remember how old I was when I lost my last one, maybe 10 or 11?
I'm noticing the kids I see the most are starting to lose them somewhere around age 5. I think that's why Madison thinks they're just supposed to start popping out now!
I think teeth start coming out around age 5 or 6 (?)
She'll lose them soon!
