At what age does a child start losing their teeth?

My daughter lost a bottom tooth about 2 months ago, and today I have noticed she has lost another tooth, next to the one she lost first. I can't find it anywhere, so I can only assume she has swallowed it as she was eating an apple. Not only that, the tooth on the otherside of the first one she lost is also loose.

Is this okay, as I am worried now, I can't get hold of the dentist, too late in the day.

A bit of a thick question, but I don't know anyone with a child this late in the day to ask.

Thanks for your help.

Can braces come off early if teeth are taken care of?

Answers:
Usually around the age of 6 as I recall it lasted from 1st to 3rd grade, then these big honkin teeth grew in and I thought oh my god my child is going to have horse teeth, but when the other ones grew in around them , they turned out fine. Your child probably did swallow the tooth, be glad she does not freak out like one of mine did and puke all over the place when one fell out!

Should I get a second opinion?

between the age of 6 and 12 years old
