Share a pic r visit a dentist for a broken tooth n he ll advise an xray if needed to identify the amount of tooth loss.
The permanent tooth starts at 6-7 yrs of age .if there is a chance to repair milk tooth ,the dentist saves the tooth definitely.
Eventhough ur baby is comfortable, dental checkup is must.. sometimes the tooth may show discoloration after a long time.
Next Steps
avoid biting hard foods like biscuits n chocolates with front teeth.

It’s common for children for this age group to have dentofacial trauma if the broken fragment is mobile please get it extracted and if possible get an x ray done for proper diagnosis and keep the area clean and give the child soft diet
