Hello,
Sometimes the eruption of the tooth is delayed. You should consult a pedodontist and get it checked.

The normal age for tooth erruption is 6-7 years.
Donot panic.
Wait until he is 7 years old. Even then if it doesn't errupt see a nearby dentist. Dentist will palpate the tooth bud or rather take an xray if required and proceed with the treatment plan
