I am on the pill and had my wisdom teeth taken out in spring. My dentist is a genius (seriously, I refuse to let anyone else in my mouth) and I had zero complications, and NO pain to speak of!! Anyway, I would not worry about your birth control method contributing to your risk of dry socket, but I WOULD worry about dry socket in general. I know people who have gotten it and it is apparently the most painful thing ever, and the treatment for it (packing, etc) is also very painful.
My dentist told me I could eat soup or something soft as soon as the night after my teeth got pulled, but I abstained from eating anything and would recommend that to you as well if you think you are at an elevated risk for dry socket. Other than that, when you DO begin to eat again, just make sure you rinse REALLY WELL (and really gently!) after every meal until you are healed.
