Help! worried about my 4 year old with dental...?

My 4 year old (she turned 4 in Sept.) has a loose tooth (front bottom).We noticed this morning that the two beside it are loose also. We called the dentist and asked and he said it's not normal and to bring her in. Any ideas on what it could be. Now he's got me worried and he can't see her until this afternoon. Anyone had similar problems?

Answers:
My daughter lost 2 when she was 4 and already had the news coming in. Our dentist said it was ok!

Other Answers:
Baby teeth. They are going to fall out eventually. My oldest starded loosing hers just before kindergarten, almost 5 years old.

In total there are twenty primary (first) teeth, which is twelve less than the full set of thirty-two permanent teeth adults have. Most children have a full set of primary teeth by the time they are around two or three years old. These teeth usually last until about the age of six, when the teeth that were first to appear become loose and fall out as the second teeth begin to push through the gums. The primary teeth continue falling out until roughly the age of twelve.
