Question dentist wants to pull my 3 yr olds front teeth!

my recent visit for my 3 year old daughter's dental check up: She told me that my daughter has two small cavaties on her two front teeth and that she can try to be them to be capped but that if my daughter is uncooperative then she would have to pull them. my first thought was OH NO! They cant pull her two front teeth! NO WAY! Well she said its too deep for them to be filled and to cap them would be about 100% cooperation for about 30 minutes (long procedure for that age) and if it didnt go well and brianna wouldnt act right, then she would have to pull both of them. my thing is how shes going to eat and chew off food with no front teeth? also speech problems? im not sure what to do. me and by husband are clueless. we want to do it so she doesnt have dental probs and hurting teeth. but then again i want to do the caps but it might not be possible. if not possible, then they pulll them then no front teeth till permanent ones come in which is around 7 or 8. i dont know what to do? what about waiting to do all of this and see how the teeth go? like if they get bad, then go get the procedure done and she might be 6 or so, and that wont be so bad but at 3 years old no front teeth? ANY ADVICE IS APPRECIATED-THANKS

DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS!!!!!!!
