Root part behind: Maybe not. If the tip IS NOT infected./ then no. But, I if the rot tip is infected then YES. Small pieces of tooth can be integrated into bone. NO Problem. Your's may be so. Not infected.

Had a wisdom tooth surgery (with stitches) 3 weeks ago, extraction site is still healing, used the other side for eating, but have started eating from extraction side too. Second molar slightly hurts while chewing, will this get better on its own?
