Northerner - my DD is just the same; must be something with the birthdate!DD, also just turned 7, has a perfect set of milk teeth.  She can almost move a couple of her teeth just if she push them about quite firmly, lol DD got her first tooth really quite late at 13m, so I assumed that was the reason.

How weird Hula! Wonder who will lose one first? None of his even wobble yet.

You have to realy force them to move, lol One of the top middle ones looks a bit looser in its gum according to DD. DD is determined. She is the only child in her class not to have lost a tooth.

Unusual but not unheard of and certainly of no concern. Often it is the case if they got the baby teeth late they will stay around longer.

DS1 lost his first tooth at 7.5 yrs. Must have been the last in the class.
