No, there is no need to visit dental clinic. Its normal. So many times deciduous teeth erupt early and shed early too. It is just shaking and will take time to shed.till then root of permanent will develop . Time to erupt and shaken as well as shedding vary one to another
Next Steps
Do gum massage once in a day with finger. You can use honey for massage.

Hello. The lower front permanent teeth erupt by the age of 6-7 years. During this period, it is absolutely normal for the deciduous (milk) teeth to be mobile or fall off.
The upper permanent teeth will erupt by the age of 7-8 years. Followed by laterals.
Nothing to worry.
