Absolutely not their too young
ANOTHER ANSWER:
It depends. First, a five year old typically only has primary (baby) teeth. The permanent teeth are probably not coming in yet.
The tooth in question may be coming out relatively soon anyway. The front teeth, upper and lower, are usually the first to fall out between the ages of 5-7 years old. Some of the back teeth can be expected to remain as long as 11-12 years of age.
If the child has extensive decay, or if they are in pain, it may be best to remove the tooth rather than try to restore the tooth with a filling or crown.
If you have doubts regarding the dentist's opinion, competency, or judgement, I recommend you seek a second opinion from a specialist called a pedodontist (specializes in children's dentistry).
The right decision is important because it may impact the child's permanent teeth.

It is not uncommon for your children's permanent teeth to start coming in while baby teeth are still there. However, this can cause complications, so you should see your dentist to see if the baby teeth need to be removed.
