Hello and welcome.
Sometimes there could be attached roots.In many cases they remain problem free but few cases do get infection and it becomes a matter of concern.
Therefore it is best to get the tooth extracted completely.
Therefore please see your dentist for reconsideration.until then maintain good oral hygiene.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.
