In 2005, I had a root canal on one of my front bottom teeth.

Just 3 months ago, it became infected again (abscess).
The dentist did an x-ray, and saw the infection, and said "There may be another root hiding, and this could be the cause for infection".

The root canal was done, and the tooth is still sensitive from time to time.

Is it possible to have 2 roots in a front bottom tooth?

This seems odd to me.
 
Yes, it can happen occasionally. Teeth are weird wee things really! :)
