This is perfectly normal.
The lower front teeth can start to fall as early as 5-5.5 years.

Maintain proper oral hygiene and ensure your son visits a pediatric dentist once every 6 months.

Hello
Our experts from the department of paediatric dentistry suggest it's normal. But this is the right age for him to be examined by a paediatric dental surgeon and evaluated for the condition of the dentition and other issues, if any. Dental care right from the age of 6 will help your kid to avoid future dental problems. Prevention is better than cure
Next Steps
consult pedodontist
Health Tips
brush twice daily with any kids paste and brush
teach him oral hygiene habits
minimize chocolate and other sweets
take help from pedodontist for accurate suggestions
