If permanent teeth are erupting and milk teeth are still in place then you should go to dentist and get those milk teeth removed as soon as possible otherwise the permanent teth will get misaligned in the jaw.
Gap between teeth can sometime be normal as it is a transition phase between deciduous rendition and permanent rendition and jaw bones are growing.

As you said your son age is 7years
Upper front permanent tooth will start to erupt at this age, if the deciduous teeth (milk teeth) retains when the permanent teeth are erupting, it might cause crowding or mal alignment, so take your child to your dentist and get an appropriate treatment done at right time.
