Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The exposed or swollen gums can be secondary to chronic irritation by the broken tooth. The roots of the tooth can be present below the gums, that is causing irritation to the overlying gums. Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. Then get the tooth removed. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole (if you are not allergic)
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
