my daughters top two front teeth have lately started to get smaller and smaller in height. you can see the inside of the teeth through the bottom, its a yellow colour. she is not ready to lose them for some time yet. we have always brushed them regularly and they are nice and white.

has this happened to anyone elses childs teeth and can they wear completely down?

How old is she and is she having any pain?

she is 6 years old and no pain. the only thing i can think of is her being born 3 months early, maybe they are not very strong?

If she is 6 then she will soon lose the upper very front teeth (central incisors). As long as she is not having any pain I would not worry but see your dentist just to be on the safe side. It is always best to get it looked at just in case.

At 6 she is just about to start to loose her front teeth.
My sons where the same, they started to wear down quite a bit, although he looks after them well, and doesnt like coke / fizzy drinks or chocolate !

Towards the end of their life they can do that...thye are also 'softer' than the permanent (adult) teeth. Some kids grind their teeth as well so that can be a reason for it.
