Hello,      You had mentioned that the LAST upset molar is broken and the root is inside the gums.     In this case, the root needs to be taken out, and this can be done by any experienced dentist.     A broken root inside the gums is called a ROOT STUMP. Hope this helps. Please feel free to ask any further doubts on this. Regards Dr Jose Emmanuel Cosmetic Dentist, Implantologist Ernakulam.
Next Steps
Please consult your regular dentist, or if you do not have a regular dentist please consult any experienced dentist, to get the root stump removed.
Health Tips
It is a good idea to remove the root stump before it starts hurting or gets infected.

Yes a dentist can extract the root portion of the tooth under the gum. You can later on replace the missing tooth with an implant
