Normal Milk Tooth Loss or due to Bruxism?

[LauraDavies81]

Hi, our daughter has just lost her first bottom central incisor. She is 6.5 years of age. However, it’s fallen out with a complete route. It wobbled for about a week and then fell out. The tooth looks healthy but very worn due to her bruxism. Losing a milk tooth with a root attached seems odd. Should we be concerned her bruxism caused this or is this ok?

Good day
The usual age to lose your front incisors are usually between 5 and 7. I don't see a need for you to worry. Children also go through various stages of bruxism, due to the constant changes they undergo at such a young age.
