So, my 8 year old lost her first molar. It bled for a while. But I knew molars bleed more than the other teeth.
My concern is, after it stopped bleeding, it LOOKS like there may be a piece of tooth still in her gum. And the tooth DOES look like it might be missing a root.

If there is a piece, its only a small one. Maybe 2mm.

But what should I do. Do I wait for it to push its self out, take her to the dentist, or go to the ER (lol I don't think it needs to go that far, but just in case)

Take her to the dentist for a quick look. That's there job to figure out.
