My dentist told my daughter her painful tooth was fine, she had to have it removed since! Any advice please?

Q.
My 10 yr old daughter has made two visits to our NHS dentist in the past 4-5months as she was complaining of toothache in a lower lhs tooth. The dentist made an examination on both occasions and said the tooth was fine and only sensitive. She has since had to visit an emergency dentist due to pain, and he said the tooth is so badly decayed it is past saving and requires extraction! He also said it had been this way for some time. Can you please offer any advice? I am also upset as she will be left with a gap as this is an adult tooth. Are there any options in this case please? Thanking You,
A.
