We will need a xray to confirm the diagnosis. If the tooth can be saved, get a root canal treatment done followed by a crown. The dentist will give her medication for her pain.
Next Steps
visit the dentist and start with the treatment as soon as possible.
Health Tips
get her missing molars replaced once she is done with her current treatment.

What you are talking about probably is root canal treatment of the teeth. We always prefer to save the tooth if it is restorable rather than going for extraction, even if the patient has had extraction of other teeth in the past. The current clinical situation of the teeth can be evaluated after an xray and if the doctor who has performed the clinical evaluation and has seen the X-ray has judged them appropriate for root canal treatment, I suggest you trust their opinion and go for the treatment.
The symptoms will definitely be gone after this treatment.
Regards
