My son has a loose tooth. It's one of the front bottom teeth. I guess it's not un-heard-of to lose a tooth at 4 1/2 but it kind of scared me. All of his baby teeth came in super-early. Should I take him to the dentist? He just had a checkup @ the dentist a few months ago (everything was fine).

I just took my daughter to the dentist, and they thought a tooth was loose.  They decided that if it was it was just a little and nothing to get excited about.  I would assume that it is normal, and doesn't require another trip to the dentist, but if you're like me you can call just to make sure it's ok.
