“How long can a child's tooth be loose?”
My daughter is 6 years old. I want to know how long can a child's tooth be loose?

The root of the tooth gradually dissolves resulting in the tooth loosening - this can take a couple months. Give it time -
Teeth can be loose for quite a long time - several months, even. It really depends on if the child is guarding it and not letting anything touch it (then it will take longer), or if they are wiggling it lots. Wiggling definitely will get it out sooner. There is such a range of what we see, and sometimes the adult tooth will even start to come in behind it. Usually the adult tooth will move into the right spot after the baby tooth comes out. Hope the tooth fairy comes soon!
