Is A Broken Teeth In Child A Cause For Concern?

Hi, my daughter is 9 yrs old and the top half of her tooth came off...what remains is a piece of her tooth & her gum, but i looks as if it s her gum in between 2 teeths. I ve never seen this before. It s not hurting her. Is this something we should be worried about?
