Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The flesh growing out from a broken tooth region can be a gingival polyp or a pulp polyp. The other possible cause can be a periodontal abscess secondary to gum infection.
Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated and take a radiograph like IOPAR to confirm the diagnosis. If it is a gingival polyp, you need to get the tooth restored and the gingival growth can be excised.
If it is a pulp polyp or periodontal abscess, the tooth has to be tooth canal treated with the excision of the polyp.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
