Loosing baby teeth question....

[tigger2on]

Ok.... my child (DD) is becoming the toothless wonder... and just in time for the wedding photos!!!!
let me first explain the situation.... My daughter is disabled and was in a coma for 10 days when she was 15 months old. At that time she had only 4 teeth.. they were coming in slowly.... but when she woke up 10 days later... she had all but 2 molars left to sprout! VERY WEIRD!!!
So my biggest fear has been that she would start losing them all at once. The dentist stated that would not happen.... she lost her first bottom 2 teeth 1 month apart... normal...
But she had just slightly wiggly front teeth last night.... in less than 24 hours... she has lost 3 on top and one on the bottom AND now another on the bottom is wiggly.
DFI thinks its great cuz she looks like a hillbilly! Great... no comfort for me in that.
Oh... and I have no idea where those 3 teeth are either.
Help
The tooth fairy will be broke and unemployed by my child!!!! LOL!
Any advice or calming words will be appreciated!

I think those toothless photos are the sweetest! I wouldn't be upset, it will be a precious memory of an all-too-short time in her life.

On the other hand, you could just hot-glue some chiclets in there for the pictures

Snaggle tooth pictures are the best! Congrats on the wedding!

I currently have a toothless wonder of my own. Here's what he currently looks like:

He has had these wiggly teeth for a while, and does not like it when they fall out. I knocked one out with a facecloth, one fell out while he was asleep, and one fell out while he was napping in the car and he SWALLOWED it. ACK ACK ACK.

It will be fine, and I think the pictures will be adorable.

DS has been messing with his top front teeth for a month or more, and BEGS me to feel them - well, just read my tag - no way am I touching those wiggly things!!! Yesterday, I picked him up from school and he smiled - 1 tooth gone, top front left. I swear he look like a Jack-O-Lantern, he has 2 more trying to come out - 1 on top & 1 on bottom loose. If only it were October, I could stick a candle in him & put him out on the porch

Dont worry about the pictures. Im sure she is beautiful!
My DS seems to lose his in spurts, usually 2 really close together. In just about 1 year hes lost 8. On the other hand he has a friend the same age who has only lost 2 all together and thats been in about 6 months time.
Ironically since DS has started losing them we have gone to WDW twice and each time 1 falls out during our trip. I cant wait to see if he continues his streak in July.

WOW.....I was going to lurk here, but had to comment. I did not realize soooo many are lost so often. I, for some reason, thought 2 a year. Mine has had 2 pulled, not lost any on his own quite yet. Shows what I know about it.

BTW, Debster812....he's a cutie pie and I am sure yours will be great for the wedding too.

The toothless pics are priceless

I had to have most of my baby teeth pulled. 13 to be exact. So there was a time when I had NO teeth in the front. I had the front four on top pulled, then 2 weeks later the front five on bottom. I looked pretty silly but my Mom just loves the pics of me with no teeth.
