What should I do for a five-year-old with loose front teeth?

Perhaps the baby teeth are loose and ready to go. If you are not sure that is the case contact your dentist. Losing your first tooth could be scary and exciting.

Five is a little early for loose teeth, but children are all different on when they get and loose teeth. If you are concerned, see you dentist.

As long as the teeth weren't knocked loose, from a fall or anything the child should be fine as teeth start to come out when they are about six. Your best bet is to let nature take its course unless there could be a problem, then see the dentist.

It is not a major problem. If it lost completely including it roots you should wait until the permanent toot comes. If its root is there you should consult a dentist and ask him/her to remorve it otherwise it may decay and damage the gum. Train the kid for brushing the teeth two times a day and after each meal
