How old is said child? Also from what I can see theres not enough space. That tells me baby lost the tooth earlier than expected.
What you can do is, use bonjela and massage the gum if it's causing pain.
Sometimes something cold helps too.
But remove dummies/pacifiers if they're still In use.
Also fruits like apples cut them up before eating so it's not too traumatising to the area.
If under 9 which I presume although too young for braces, it doesn't hurt for the dentist to have a look so it's on file and they can monitor.
But generally they should be OK since the others look like baby teeth
They will fall out, the jaw will grow and more space is created.
If this doesn't happen it's called crowding and braces will be needed, perhaps starting with a removable applicance first to help prompt jaw width..
Thumb sucking too if its happening needs to be curbed as this will also affect the development of the jaw.
I hope I've offered some clear information, nothing too scary.
Your little one will be fine it can just be fluke...
