As per your child’s age ,Most likely it would be the milk teeth . In case case need not worry much and the tooth is to fall soon and new ones would come . However visit your dentist and get and xray done. If by any chance it would be a permanent teeth then a restoration would be required.

Mostly your son would soon get permanent tooth replacing the milk tooth. In case of doubt dont hesitate to meet a dentist. It's better to be cent percent sure than to be in doubt.
