Probably not an issue. Which teeth did she lose?

Go and see a pediodontist. They specialize in child dentistry. I'll bet they can answer your question better than we can.

Just an FYI children lose their teeth at variations of normal. So one child will lose certain teeth when they are "supposed" to and others will lose teeth not on schedule. Google primary tooth exfoliation charts and that will give you a good idea regarding whether the child is losing teeth that need to be lost or if there is a bigger issue.

Which is why I asked which teeth she lost. Some children who got their primary (baby) teeth in later will lose them later, some who got their primary teeth in earlier will lose them earlier. Some children will buck those trends and go on their own schedule. If you want to see a Pediatric Dentist, feel free, but most General Dentists can answer this question very easily with a quick exam. I would honestly say unless there is obvious swelling and pain where those teeth were, she just happened to lose the baby teeth at the same time. Hope that helps and if you very concerned due to things you haven't mentioned here, go see whichever Dentist serves your family. :-)
