I know most of us might not remember the details of losing our first tooth, but what happened on the earliest day you remember losing a tooth?

-When I was about 5 y.o., I was jumping on the bed and I fell for some reason and one of my front teeth came out. I don't think I was hurt, but I remember running into the living room, where my parents were and telling them about it. They paid no attention to me, but said that Tooth Fairy BS. I woke up the next morning with my mother in my bed and a dollar under my pillow.

-Another time, I was flossing and a loose tooth came out.
-Another time, I was at school in the 4th grade and my side tooth became loose when I was eating lunch, so I pulled it out.
-I pulled about three more teeth out with no numbness.

    The earliest I can remember was when I was 6 or 7.

    I was at school, eating an apple when I noticed a hole in my tooth line. I checked the apple to see if the tooth was still embedded in it, unfortunately it was not. I must have swallowed the tooth with a chunk of that apple.
    A few weeks later, the matching tooth on the otherside worked loose. This time I managed to catch it, bag it and take it home.

    The last one I can remember, I was 11 or 12 and At high school. It was my right canine. (http://www.mchoralhealth.org/OpenWide/images/tooth_eruption_cht.gif)
    I was in class when it just popped out, it had only been marginally loose for a few days. It was a messy one. It bled, and bled well. Luckily I had a tissue handy and was able to head to the toilets once the teacher saw the tissue turning scarlet.

      my two front teeth were coming out, so my dad tied dental floss to both of them, and pulled em

      this other time I was eating a hamburger bun, and the tooth came out as I was eating it, it didn't bleed :S

      then this other time I had to goto the dentist to get teeth pulled (they were loose anyway) so they numbed them and eventually I pulled em out myself :D

        I can't remember losing my first tooth but I can remember losing my 2nd and 3rd tooth that was funny now that I think about it. I was 7 years old I think and at Taco Bell with my family, and I was eating a soft taco, plop! tooth came out. No blood that I can remember so I handed it to my mom, then like 5 minutes later on my 2nd soft taco I took another bite and PLOP! the other one came out. My mom and dad eventually told me if I keep losing my teeth I might need dentures. That night the 'tooth fairy' left me three dollars. :D.

          Hmm, I'm not really sure how old I was, but I remember that I was eating a sandwich and then the next thing I know CRUNCH! Nothing like eating your own tooth, lol. This happened to me once more after this.

            For my first tooth, this was in first grade, I was so scared, but I knew it had to be pulled out. My dad help me out, but only half of it came out, and then we eventually got the second half out. I was crying and screaming bloody murder.

            On a side note, most people have 32 teeth right? I only have 24. It might be because I've never grown any second molars or wisdom teeth. Is anybody else like that?

              I remember being scared out of my wits when I got my first loose tooth - I got it eating an apple when I was 7-8ish. I also remember how my mom took it upon herself to yank it out when it wasn't ready to come out - I remember twisting, pulling, and rough wiggling to jostle that tooth loose. By the end, I was screaming blue murder - and no, the dollar under my pillow did not make up for it.

              I also remember losing my last tooth - was a huge tooth, and I actually still have it in a little box somewhere in my room. I never had a tooth knocked loose or knocked out, and thankfully I never let anyone pull my loose teeth out for me again.

              I counted mine...I seem to have 28 *huhh?* Sooo, you're not alone. If this means I won't get my wisdom teeth, then I say 'hooray' :)

                It's likely that you don't, then! Well, it depends on how old you are, because some people get them when they're out of high school. For me, the wisdom teeth weren't even in sight, like they should've been. Apparently it's very rare, and all the dentists that I've been to have to do multiple x-rays for one visit. Then they scratch their heads and ask "are you sure you've never had them pulled?" I think I'd remember something like that.

                  I remember losing two teeth at summer camp when I was about 10 years old, I was having my bedtime snack of Hot Cocoa and a cinnamon bun, and I bit into the cinnamon and my tooth came out. I went and told a counsellor, and she that it was a tooth. I was surprised I didn't think that you could lose molars, I guess that was why my mouth was sore on the upper left side the last few days. The other one came out the next day at supper I just twisted it and out it came. I also remember pulling one out when I was in the first grade, I was wiggling it, and then I gripped it and gave a tug and out it came one of my two front teeth that time.

                    I have no idea how old I was, but I remember drinking hot chocolate and swallowing my tooth LOL. And when I lost my front teeth, they were really loose, and my mom told me she just wanted to "feel them" and she promised me she wouldnt pull them out, but she grabbed on to them and YANKED THEM OUT anyways. God I hated loosing teeth, I always felt sick afterwards, I hate the taste of blood and the feel of my gums where the tooth used to be made me sick.
