Answer 1

Call your dentist to get it evaluated....and quit tapping it, you dont want to fracture it!

Answer 2

someone didn't do a good job on your tooth you still a

have a root there

Answer 3

There might be some root left.  Although I would think it would be cleaned out when the pulp was taken out.  It is not uncommon for a potentially dead tooth to become infected if it hasn't been sealed right allowing for bacteria to still get in there and irritate it.  Ask your dentist.  I'm only an dental asst.
