When your tooth breaks is there a chance that the dentist has to go into your gum to get the tooth out?

I recently had a trip to dentist for tooth extraction, and the oral surgeon accidentally broke the crown of my tooth while trying to pull it. Not only did the surgeon have to go into the gum, but he also had to dig around my jaw bone with a scraper and a drill for what seemed like the better part of an hour to get the remaining fragments of the roots out. It was highly uncomfortable, but tolerable. So to answer your question, yes. There is a chance the dentist might have to go into the gum, and possibly even the bone, to get a tooth out.
Go to the dentist soon anyway. Dentist may be able to save the tooth with a cap.

Sore gum and a wobbly tooth will the dentist give you a needle if you go?
If you are losing your baby teeth the dentist might just tell you to keep wiggling the loose tooth for it to come out completely. Your gum is sore because it is the only thing holding that tooth in. If it is a permanent tooth that is loose, it may need to be extracted or gum disease. In that case, yes a needle may be given.
