Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain falling of milk teeth at the age of 5 years is not abnormal as by the age of 6 years the permanent teeth will start erupting, therefore the milk teeth will gradually fall by then..

So it is not at all abnormal and if there was no pain or loosening was not noticed, it is also no an abnormal finding..

If you have any doubt then you can consult a Pedodontist and get him evaluated and he can take a Panoromic x ray so that the exact condition of the permanent teeth and the falling deciduous teeth will be ruled out and you can be advised accordingly..

Hope this information helps..

If you find the answer helpful please give me a Five Star Review and click on found the answer helpful as a token of appreciation..

Thanks and regards..
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
