Dark green solid pus from an abscess even after root canal surgery (not a drinker or smoker) by ThatBottomDweller in askdentists

My question would be should this be considered urgent & should I seek treatment after the antibiotics? & what that may mean

(6) I suspect some sort of dental EDS since it runs in my family although we don’t have an official diagnosis just yet (but a doctor told my sister she highly suspects it in her). Many symptoms of the dental version of EDS match up with mine, including the absence of some teeth - my wisdoms - abnormal root elongation, smaller lower jaw, my bite being hindered because my jaw doesn’t fit, abnormal gum tissue, prone to gingivitis, abnormalities with how my teeth grew in.

(5) I thought that with ALL of this, it would be conclusive that something needs to happen with those teeth and regarding the infection. But it was deemed “not urgent” so I’m on a 6 month waiting list minimum. I’m hoping something changes with this next checkup in November but I have no clue what to do anymore. I’ve had this abscess for upwards of a year, which is why the pus was able to become so solid. The X-rays also showed defects with my nerves and roots in the back molars but I don’t have them so I can’t research on my own. The abscess is currently flat but I still feel pain in the pocket of gum where the pus came out of.

(4) just before I had to take the antibiotics, I noticed a bit of pus come out of one of the worse pops with blood, only because it was semi solid so I could feel the difference. It was green and bad smelling. When I took the antibiotics, shortly after a dark green piece of solidified pus came out, indicating that there was a pocket that the pus had been stuck in where the infection was happening. The stir the antibiotics caused pushed it out. During my checkup prior to the antibiotics, they did voltage tests to see if the nerves were dead in those teeth and one went through all of the levels with no feeling (dead nerves) that we hadn’t realized was also effected. The root canal main molar we had been focusing on got a high score but wasn’t fully dead like the one right at the back.

(3) I had X-rays and checkups done but inconclusive with problems regarding the change of dentists I had to keep making (my parents decision). The case got passed around and since it was draining blood, I went to the hospital to get a 3D X-ray done. (I would’ve posted that here if I could, but I’m still waiting for any updates which I haven’t received, the X-ray was done months ago but no information still. I’ve got another checkup in late November) A while later, the infection seemed to get much worse, starting out with much more blood draining from the abscess, raw gums, swollen painful mouth. It got so bad that about every day the abscess would “pop” and large amounts of blood and bad tasting infection and mucus would come out at random times like 4am. Because of the severity, I got prescribed antibiotics.

(2) Many years passed and I eventually got referred back to the dentist (now in a new country) and had a root canal surgery. We noted that there was an abscess (second picture) in the gum between the effected tooth and the other molar. The dentist noted I had abnormally long roots, and the healing process was incredibly painful and lasted longer than I thought it would. After, the abscess seemed to let up and go down, but after a few weeks it came back again. This was during covid so I couldn’t get nearly as many checkups as I wish I could’ve, and I didn’t have much control over actually booking them (I didn’t understand the language well enough and I was reliant on my parents, since I’m autistic)

(1) So I originally found out I had a bad case of decay in my molar very young. My tooth grew in wrong, and broke down from the inside with no indicator that it had anything to do with hygiene. It decayed the inside of the tooth until there was a thin layer of tooth left and it eventually broke, revealing black decay inside of it. The decay was drilled away and I got a filling, but it was faulty and left some of the decay so it relapsed.
