It's not uncommon for roots to stay in for years with no problems, just wait and see if it settles down.

Very common practice to leave roots in. It’s a lot kinder than attempting surgical extraction if it’s not causing any pain etc. Quite often they work their way to the gum surface after a few years and then can be easily removed. Only becomes a problem if they give you any bother.
