Others have said it, but I want to emphasize that you usually lose your baby
teeth depending on how early you got them in. Most of my kids and I got
ours "late"....nearly 12 months, so I figured they'd start losing them
around age 7, like I did. But I have some nieces and nephews who got their
teeth early, at 4-6 months like your son (my sil is positive this is a sign
of high intelligence...oh, and the amount of hair shows that, too...agh!) so
they lost teeth right and left starting at 5 years. They all took very good
care of their teeth...it was normal, having nothing to do with a tooth
rotting and falling out. If that were the case, wouldn't it look and feel
rotten? It takes quite a bit of neglect for that to happen, not just
forgetting to brush once in awhile. I know I was terrible about it as a
child. I had a mouthful of cavities, but they never just fell out.

quarter after that. :)
