Is it bad that my 8 year old son has lost 3 teeth in the last week?

No: Children are going to lose primary, or baby teeth, at different rates but if you child has not experienced dental trauma don't be concerned about loss of these primary teeth. The tooth fairy may have an unexpected expense from this but what are you going to do?

No: Children lose their baby teeth at many different rates. It depends on how fast the roots on the baby teeth resorb. Most likely, your child has lost several teeth in the front of the mouth. This is not uncommon. Most children start loosing teeth at about age 6. Girls seem to loose teeth sooner than boys.
