This is infected?

Last month I have a tooth extration.
It was a dentist only with hygienist assistant. To be honest it was weird.

After that the pain kick hard for the first two week. During that first 2 week I get 6 piece of tooth or bone out of my tooth hole. I had to to take antibiotic for 1 week cause of an infection. A little bit of pus was coming out.

Now its been a month and the hole still open and I take out 3 other piece of bone or teeth. Theres still a little pus you can see on one photo and on the other it's one of the total 9 pieces I take off my tooth hole during that month.

Due to covid here in east Canada we have dentist available. What should I do? ER or I just freaking out for nothing and let that heal by hitself?

Lower molars can be very traumatic to remove. It's not unusual to have pieces of dead bone exfoliating. However, the hole should be closing 1 month after. The best is to go back to the dentist who removed it and have it looked at. Hopefully you are not a heavy smoker. If so, you are preventing it from healing properly.

Hi Doc! Thanks for that fast reply! Way faster than any dentist here haha!

For the smoking part, I quit cigarette in January. So now im smoke free.

I also get back to this dentist 4 times! He still say that healing good...

But like I said yesterday, its been a month and the hole is still wide open. Another bones part exfoliating today. The count is now to 10 bones part remove in a month. And the pus still there. Low quantity of pus yes, but its still there.

Its already cost me around 700-800$ for a single teeth. I fear that the hole slowly close and trap the pus inside with remaining bones parts and change in alveolite osteitis. I just saw that on internet, maybe im too easily scared haha.
