I had #18 extracted with a graft placed (you're not seeing the socket here, what you're seeing is what I am afraid of is an infection). I had been on oral antibiotics for like 5 weeks by my endodontist trying to save the tooth to no avail... I'm now worried this is sitll infected despite being on azithromycin (last dose today). This is a very hard to see area and also curious if maybe it's where an injection site was for the inferior alveolar block

So I just had a tooth extraction 22 hours ago and the collagen, or chunk of it, just fell out. It’s a weekend and I called the line - I felt like I was brushed off because I’m scared something will fail now. My research shows this isn’t normal but can happen. I have a graft but now I have a pocket exposed and I’m barely 1 day removed from surgery. What should I do? The on call doctor said it’s not like they’ll see me today to repack it (I guess if it’s not needed?).
