My daughter 5 yrs, is swelling around the gum where her tooth broke while she was young. the tooth is still visible inside, not painful she says. dentist advised that it was going to be pushed out by another growing tooth that hasn't happen. ?

Baby Tooth Eruption: Good day; I would agree with your dentist, tooth eruption proceeds in a normal manner as your daughter becomes older. Periodic visits with her dentist examining acceptable tooth eruption alignment are critical in guiding the permanent dentition from developing. Topical benzocaine gel may relieve inflamed tissue spots in a few instances.

Sounds about right: Has your Dentist taken an x-ray of the area to evaluate progress? Lower front baby teeth lost about age 6-7. Back baby teeth are supposed to be there until as late as 12. Your Dentist is familiar with the normal eruption process and schedule, and I would tend to lean on his/her advice. Orabase -B may help if gums are sore.
