Did your child make repetitive noises when losing milk teeth?

[Anonymous]

My 7 y/o has been losing her milk teeth. She also grunts and clacks her teeth together for hours a day. She will stop for a week or two and then go back to it. I noticed she has four teeth coming into the front of her mouth.

Is losing teeth commonly related to making irritating sounds? Or is it probably something else?

Not OP but what planet are you from? Milk teeth are baby teeth.

Np here they are baby/milk teeth because I guess babies drinking milk! To OP - mine lost only 2 teeth at a time also 7 yo but no grunting noises etc. Maybe having more teeth out your child cannot properly form words and making those noises?

I’ve also never heard that term before. Where are PP and OP from? I grew up in this area.

Although I could figure out what milk teeth was from context, I have never heard the term before. Grew up in Virginia and have also lived in Chicago and NYC. Where is milk teeth a common phrase?

Most countries worldwide say milk teeth. Only USA says baby teeth.

I've never heard of those behaviors being associated with losing teeth, but it does sound classic for Tourette Syndrome, which typically appears in children between the ages of 5 and 9.

I am from Earth and have never heard the term "milk teeth". Is this a southern thing? Sounds like a southern thing.

I dunno, but when my kid has a loose tooth, she is constantly wiggling it with it with her tongue, which I suppose could make noises. And if she's recently lost a tooth, she's always messing with the space, too.

Also, I am not Southern, and have heard the term "milk teeth" for "baby teeth."

+1. Not to be an alarmist, OP, but a first grade teacher what you’re describing is not anything I’ve ever heard or encountered. Please talk to your child’s pediatrician and get her sounds on video to show him/her.

Wishing you the best.

Sounds like a milkmaid thing from breastfeeding eras.

Is this teeth grinding / bruxism? Which may be common when lots of big Meat Teeth are coming in.
Your dentist should Always be checking for night grinding wear and tear or impacted teeth biannually,
