If there is small root piece left it will resorb on its own but if its a bigger piece then it has to be removed , it will be determined by taking a good radiograph and preferably consult an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for clinical and radio graphical examination and get the remaining part removed if indicated

Hi I think you should consult a good Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon. Get the remaining root removed after taking an OPG . If it was troubling you before that means there was some infection present so it's better to get the root extracted. As we say, go to the ROOT cause of the problem!
Next Steps
get an OPG and IOPA x-rays done, consult an oral surgeon get the remaining root piece extracted

Sometimes the root bit if very small will resorb on its own
But bigger roots need to be removed surgically for permanent relief.
Next Steps
you can see a dentist and get an x ray done.
Health Tips
Healing may not happen for a long time if the root remains and can get infected
