Is it dangerous to have a pulpotomy done on my 10yr old daughter?

No: It also depends on the type of tooth you are having repaired. If it is a baby tooth and is not needed for function or space maintainance, you might be better off extracting the tooth. If is an adult tooth and the child needs orthodontics and extractions, maybe the tooth should be extracted with the instructions from an orthodontist.

No: More information would help. Is the tooth a permanent tooth or a deciduous tooth? If it is a permanent tooth is the root completely formed? If it is a deciduous tooth how close is it to coming out and is there a permanent tooth to replace it? These and other questions need to be answered before a pulpotomy is considered. But the quick answer is a pulpotomy is not dangerous.
