Hello,
No need to worry about it, permanent tooth are bigger in size as compared to milk tooth. As her jaw will grow in size, there will be more space for these tooth.
But you need to consult doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.

Hlo dear, no worries it is quite normal in every child, shedding of milk teeth (deciduous teeth) from the age of 5 years and the eruption of permanent teeth will take in that place and coming about the size is quite lagerer than deciduous teeth ,so no need to get tense about it.
Next Steps
visit dentist for check up for every 6 months
