I just got tooth #2 removed, the right upper molar in the back. It took a lot longer than they thought. My oral surgeon told me I had 3 regular roots and a bifurcated 4th, so almost 5 roots 😮

I just got extract yesterday and I have 5 roots! My dentist took 1.5 hours before she could completely remove it. She does break one of the roots! What an experience I don't want to do it again.

My doctor said I have 3 roots in my lower molar tooth

I just recently pulled out a lower molar with 3 roots. I going to make a video about it.
