Molar pulled 3 weeks ago.theirs a tiny black dot on a small white spot on my gum.feels like a metal sliver.i think it mignt be a broken needle.

Doubtful: Anesthetic needles do not fracture in that manner. It may be a small piece of tooth, part of a broken filling, or the sharp edge of the tooth socket. Please see the dentist who treated you to determine what this is and have it treated. No need to guess.
