Bone from bone graft fell out after a week? Dry socket?

lucylou232
Hi! I had an extraction of tooth #11? (front left fang), bone graft and stitches exactly one week ago. It was a really rough first few days and just the day before yesterday stopped hurting really bad. Here on day 7, pain is gone with ibprofin. This morning when I rinsed, I saw the piece of white bone that has been in there since the first day. Tonight, I went in to rinse and it was gone! Just a large hole. I am absolutely petrified and don't want to look at it again. Is this normal?
