You can go for extraction.
Unwanted teeth at times don't cause any problem.
No post procedure problem except pain and swelling for some days, which can be cured with medicine

If the tooth that is advised for extraction a milk tooth,then you shouldn't worry. There won't be any malocclusion because of its extraction now that she is 10. However,if it is a permanent tooth, then I would advise you to get more treatment options for the tooth.
