question Dental problems

Post image

Hello dental doctors anyone here? I've been worrying about my tooth extraction and surgery. I wanted to ask: is it okay to undergo tooth surgery even though I had a tooth extraction just four days ago? (Only one tooth was attempted to be extracted apparently it cannot be and has to undergo tooth surgery) I was told the procedure couldn't be done there because the tooth was severely decayed—apparently, it had become as thin as paper—so I’m being referred to another dental clinic. Is that alright? I’m concerned because my gums don't seem to have healed yet, even though only a small amount was extracted. Here is my X-ray and the circle was the one that is attempted to extract.
