In this case tooth extraction is advisable ,as tooth is causing constant harm to near by area.
You can try out getting flap removal ,if it doesn't cause further harm to nearby area.
If it harms, extraction is the only option left .

it will not go on its own. Success rate of Surgical removal of that flap is less. it will grow again. Tooth removal is best option, second option is to keep clean of that area by brushing, mouth rinsing. If you can keep clean that area there will be no future problem. But if not, then there will be infection again and again.
