Accepted Answer

Early loss of milk teeth can be a normal variation in some children. Tooth eruption and shedding timelines vary widely and are often influenced by genetics. Since your child is healthy, active, growing well, and the dental X-ray shows normal root resorption with permanent teeth developing underneath, this appears to be a physiological (natural) process rather than a problem.
Early teething in infancy can also lead to earlier shedding later. In the absence of decay, infection, trauma, or systemic illness, there is usually no underlying cause for concern. Regular dental follow-ups are important to monitor spacing and eruption of permanent teeth.
Parents should seek further evaluation only if multiple teeth are lost rapidly, there is pain, infection, or delayed eruption of permanent teeth. Otherwise, reassurance and routine dental care are sufficient.

Namaste Mom,

This condition varies from child to child as such.

so if in case the child had teethed early the fall would be dependent on that.

also can be due to decay and infection

certain rare conditions also do play a role in shift of timeline

take a second opinion in case fallen teeth you dont observe a new teeth developing , any sort of bleeding or pain , swelling
