new teeth at age 6! (molars)

[tanyalynn]

I had no idea that kids got new molars around age 6.

Here's a chart from the ADA.

I know that losing some of the front teeth around age 6 was normal, but I had no idea that my daughter would have molars coming in right now as well!

My boys are 5.5. One has the 6 year molars peaking through. I was surprised too! He had suddenly been chewing again and I couldn't figure it out. I now think it is because those molars were/are coming in.

Both my kids have two loose teeth and that's an adventure right now...one is scared. He keeps asking me what will happen if he swallows it.

There are new sets of molars around 2, 6, and 12, and finally the wisdom teeth. My 13 yo needs her wisdom teeth removed already!!!
