Yes, it sounds quite 'normal'. Teeth with root canals are often quite brittle and root tips can fracture easily during extractions.
Most general dentists are not comfortable in trying to recover root tips in this area due to the close proximity of the maxillary sinus. The floor of the sinus can be perforated and sometimes the root tip can even enter the sinus itself. A situation like this is best treated by an oral surgeon, because they have the training and the experience to manage any potential complications.
It sounds like your dentist has given you the best advice and has your interests at heart.
