Yes. A crown CAN become loose from an implant. But first, an explanation of what is coming loose. There are 3 parts to this restoration, the implant which is integrated into your jaw, the abutment which is attached to the implant, and the crown attached to the abutment. Most often the latter two are permanently attached together either by the lab or your dentist creating screw-retained restoration, meaning it is attached to the implant with a screw. Over the years, there have been some changes in the recommended torque value from 20NCm up to 35NCm. There are basically 2 ways it can loosen: 1-Through normal chewing, etc the screw loosens or 2- The cement fusing the crown to the abutment becomes debonded. In either case, the solution is simple and most dentists will only charge for an office visit at most. Best to see your dentist before it comes out completely if possible before adjacent or opposing natural teeth move creating a potentially more complicated and costly fix.

What should be done for a chipped "baby tooth"?

First, sorry to hear of your child's unfortunate accident. The good news is "chipping" primary teeth on a 6-year-old is rarely a cause for concern. Especially when the teeth are not loose or even if the accident resulted in them becoming loose. The underlying permanent teeth in most children at age 6 are very close to erupting anyway. Although damage to the permanent teeth at this age is a possibility, again, very unlikely.
What to watch for: Most children are very resilient and bounce back fairly quickly after traumatic events like this, but watch for signs of infection like swollen gums around these teeth, etc. If, after a few days, your child starts to develop a fever, loss of appetite (even with soft foods), or just doesn't seem "well" get them checked out by a general or pediatric dentist asap. Keep in mind, it's always best to be seen by a professional just to be sure. They are trained to look for these, as well as less obvious, but potentially problematic conditions. The small inconvenience is worth your peace of mind!
