What should I do, tooth related

So my molar at the bottom left had a hole in it the last few months, dentist said it needed to be taken out, I took my chances and I've had no pain or infections with it
Fast forward to Sunday and while eating I've managed to break the tooth further 🙃 making the hole way bigger,
So there's a big chunk of my tooth missing now,
I have no pain, sensitivity or anything.
My question is while I will have it taken out soon, is it too soon to be taken out for xmas?
I'm afraid incase of dry socket and complications if I get it done this close to xmas!
Or am I being foolish and risking infection by not getting it taken out?
Nearly wish I was in pain so my decision was easier 😅

Well, I would get it out now before things get worse! You shouldn't need to worry about dry socket if you follow the after care instructions properly.

Ya, true, think im just going to get it out I just have anxiety about this kinda stuff, got my wisdom tooth out last year was worried for about a week afterwards about stuff that never happened!
