From the pictures I've seen of Danielle it semed to layperson me that she may have had peg teeth. If so that could be sign of:

Late Congenital Syphilis - greater than two years of age

An older child may have stigmata such as interstitial keratitis, nerve deafness, anterior bowing of shins, mulberry molars, Hutchinson’s peg teeth, saddle nose, rhagades, or Clutton’s

according to GUIDELINES FOR THE INVESTIGATION AND TREATMENT OF INFANTS AT RISK OF CONGENITAL SYPHILIS, from the Australian CDC.

Again as I layperson, I don't know -- but would such a condition make her teeth more likely to fall out?

I don't know either, but I do know that bad health can loosen teeth, I think particularly anemia. If she had been molested systematically, as some of us suspect, STDs are possible.

The pictures of Danielle, looked to me as though she had already lost her incisors, and that the laterals were still small primary teeth. Like I said before, it is a natural process for the roots of primary teet to resorb, leaving little bone attatchment. So, the laterals would have been hanging by a string at age seven and the canines would have just begun to loosen.
