when do children lose their first tooth?

Most children have 20 milk of baby teeth by the time they're 3 years old, but when is your child likely to lose their first tooth? ... one of the most exciting milestones for your child! The first milk tooth usually starts to get wobbly and fall out when the child is 5 or 6, which is when all the Tooth Fairy fun and magic starts! It's usually around the age of 12 that a child loses all their baby teeth and they're well on their way to acquiring a full set of 32 adult teeth!

But more importantly, how can you make the most of your Tooth Fairy years, from losing their first tooth and beyond? Children love all the anticipation of a special magical night visit. They love the hope and anticipation of finding a sparkly coin and a letter addressed to them under their pillow in exchange for their tooth. Talking of Tooth Fairy letters - if your child hasn't yet lost their first tooth, our One Stop Shop Ultimate Tooth Fairy Letter Bundle has all the Tooth Fairy Letters you'll ever need, including a letter from a Christmas Elf in the North Pole.

Childhood magic can be a minefield - some children get a coin for their lost tooth and some get a letter. Some get nothing at all ... so what's the right or wrong way to do this?

The important thing is to do whatever is best for your family! And please know that if you're a family that the Tooth Fairy does vitis, 99.9% of Tooth Fairies have on occasion been far too busy to visit on the night the tooth fell out, so they return the next day, or even the day after that instead!

One of the common themes behind a Tooth Fairy visit is for parents to warn their children that unless they look after their teeth and clean their teeth well, the Tooth Fairy won't want to visit. This can be a very helpful incentive for children to take good care of their teeth.

General dental advice is to start brushing your baby's teeth as soon as the first milk tooth breaks through (usually at around 6 months, but it can be earlier or later). Parents or carers should brush or supervise toothbrushing. The ongoing advice is to brush teeth twice daily for about 2 minutes with fluoride toothpaste and to not rinse your mouth out afterwards. The fluoride left in the mouth continues to protect the teeth from bacteria and decay until you eat or drink again!
