Hi
Don’t worry as this gap is due to unerupted lateral incisors..
In few months the gap will be occupied by the erupting teeth..

Hi
No need to worry.
Every tooth has different eruption time and as you have mentioned he is just 8 the teeth can erupt any time between 8-9 years or sometimes 9.5.
In case they don’t come out even then you can visit a dentist and not every child has the same growth pattern so give it time.

If at all you want consult a dentist online/offline
