Yes, it's completely normal for children around the age of 5 to start losing their milk teeth (also known as primary or deciduous teeth). The process of shedding milk teeth and the eruption of permanent teeth is a natural part of dental development.
Children typically begin to lose their primary teeth between the ages of 5 and 7. The lower central incisors are often among the first teeth to become loose and fall out. This is followed by the upper central incisors, and the pattern continues with the rest of the teeth. The process of losing primary teeth usually continues until around the age of 12 or 13.
The timing of tooth loss can vary among children. Some might start losing teeth a bit earlier or later than the average age range. As long as your daughter's overall dental and oral health is good, and there are no signs of any abnormality or discomfort, there's generally no need to be concerned.
Keep in mind that the eruption of permanent teeth will gradually replace the spaces left by the shedding primary teeth. If you have any concerns about your daughter's dental development or if you notice any unusual signs, it's always a good idea to consult with a pediatric dentist. They can provide guidance and monitor her dental growth to ensure everything is progressing as expected.
