My 4 year old has a tooth becoming loose, is this normal? no decay of teeth all perfect.

Yes: Juvenile teeth can start shedding anywhere from age 4-6 and end anywhere from age 10-12. The important indicator is that there is an adult tooth underneath ready to erupt. Talk to your dentist if the tooth falls out and there is no sign of an adult tooth erupting.
