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.

Thank you i just called the dentist again and i told them i wanted to speak to the dentist i told him that i was having severe pain and i was worried he told me that the tooth was hard to get out and because it was more difficult i was going to have more pain and a longer recovery. He said i wouldn't have a dry socket that those don't occur till 3-4 days after so i guess i will just keep on the meds and deal i know that the next time i have to go to a dentist it will be even harder now. Thank you again for your help.
