Yes, he's teething.
At seven months dogs already have a complete set of definitive teeth, so they must be passing through their worst period of Puppy Teething. The upper incisors push out at fourteen weeks of age, when the definitive teeth are in eruption.
The lower incisors change some weeks later, and also the fangs (at eighteen weeks). Normally there are 28 milk teeth and 42 definitive. If you have a dog of the brachycephalic breeds or "broad skull", like the bulldog, you must watch carefully that teeth are tight enough, due to the small size of the mouth. Some dogs, like the Chihuahua's milk teeth don't always fall off and can remain alongside the definitive teeth. If this is the case, go to the veterinarian.

Dogs are just like humans. That was just one of his baby teeth that fell out. But don't worry he'll grow another one soon. That happened to one of my dogs. One day I noticed that his two front teeth were missing! But he eventually grew his teeth again. He looked so funny without his two front teeth!!

Yes puppies loose their puppy teeth and adult ones come in.
You may want to check out some puppy books, because obviously you know nothing about puppies.

Its not ussual to hear that a chihuahua lost a tooth but its totally OK.
Dont worry about that and just make sure you feed him a lot of calcium rich foods like Milk and eggs.
