Okay, I am a dental hygienist and I will try to give you all the advise I can. Please don't drink from a straw...that WILL give you dry socket. Your wound is trying to clot, if you suck on a straw, the clot could come out. Food and junk will get in the area and that is when it becomes a very painful dry socket.
Sometimes small parts of the bone comes with the tooth...not all the time. My uncle and brother in law are dentist and I have seen this happen, especially with molar teeth.
I hope this helps...not all extractions go smoothly...I hope you feel better and make sure you stay on your pain meds.
