Ekain’s first baby tooth fell out, almost without realizing it, the same day he turned six years old. Having been loose for days, the tooth unexpectedly dropped to the ground with a jingle as he crunched into a piece of apple.
Generally, deciduous teeth begin to fall out from the age of five or six once the lower front teeth loosen. Such a monumental time represents the beginning of a new stage in our lives, since it marks a before and an after.
