milk tooth will start shedding at the age of 6 (especially the lower front tooth sheds first)but for some reasons it may delay . Your son is only 7 years and 4 months old . That’s normal. But for better clarification you can consult a near by dentist. Doctor will check for pre-shedding mobility and may advise you to take an xray if needed
