a root typically does not form properly if there has been previous injury to the tooth while the root is forming. The root will typically be shorter than the other roots. Most the tooth can be retained unless one gets periodontal disease around the tooth which many cause mobility. The trauma typically causes other issues such as a non-vital tooth or the tooth may abcess.

Why does your tooth hurt that you had a root canal done on about 3 years ago?
Generally its not the same tooth that may be hurting, if the root canal was performed properly. You should go see a dentist to rule out other dental issues you might be having. Once the root is removed it is a dead tooth, no longer susceptible to sensation. A "root canal" procedure does not include the removal of a root(s), only the "killing" of the nerve down the center of the roots.

I have a root- canaled canine tooth that has a chip on the root of the tooth just below the gum can this tooth be saved?
First we need to know how long ago did you get the root canal done? Is it done well? How is your periodontal health and the adjacent teeth? If the answer to all these questions is positive, ie a) your periodontium and gingiva surrounding the tooth in question and general oral hygiene is good. b) Your adjacent teeth are strong and healthy. c) The root canal was done properly and the tooth was sealed well. How deep below the gingival margin is the chip? Then, i believe you can save your tooth still with a full crown on it. You need to visit an endodontist for specialist opinion. An x-ray of the tooth will confirm the status and prognosis of the tooth.
