It sounds like you may have been having problems with your teeth all along in the past, but because of the dentist's diminished abilities, the problems were left untreated, so that now it seems like "suddenly" a bunch of problems.

RE the three roots, I had a hooked root on one of my wisdom teeth, and it took the dentist 2.5 hours to get it pulled out. He kept shooting more and more novocain into my jaw and pulling and pulling, and finally took an x-ray where he could see that the root was hooked under the tooth in front of it. As a consequence, whenever he was pulling on it, it felt like my entire jaw was being pulled out (which it technically was). He ended up cutting off the hook part of the root, and it remains down in my jaw to this day....!

I hope all your troubles get resolved soon!!
