Hie.. we need to take an X-ray for confirmation since it seems to be severely decayed from the other end .. but since he is just 4 years old, we try to save the tooth with rct..
after investigation only ..we can rule out the exact.. if it gets extracted then do go for space maintainer.
Next Steps
Kindly consult and get an X-ray first
