Rationale:
1. Many changes occur in the mouth during the school-age years, necessitating periodic examination. At about 6 years of age, most children lose a tooth, and the front teeth usually are first.
2. While the nurse needs to know about total candy consumption, the priority is finding out how many other teeth the child has lost.
3. The child probably lost the tooth because it was time for the baby tooth to fall out to make room for the permanent tooth.
4. What type of candy the child eats is not the priority.
