It seems that infection in your daughters teeth has reached the pulp and roots of teeth. Since she is just 5 years old I will strongly suggest to save those teeth by Root Canal treatment. Because Apart from chewing milk teeth are also important for proper growth of permanent teeth and face
Next Steps
You can take 2 nd opinion or go to Pediatric Dentist. As such there is no guarantee of Root Canal treatment but properly treated teeth stays for years. In your daughter's case they should stay good till parmanent teeth erupts.
