My boyfriend had a bad tooth extraction with a jaw bone fracture. Will it heal alright?

My boyfriend had his bottom 2 wisdom teeth pulled last week. The 1st tooth pulled easy %26amp; the 2nd 1 took an hr. The dentist (30 yrs exp) had to cut it since it was fused to the bone but wasn't rooted. The tooth was hard %26amp; 1 of the biggest the dentist has seen. During the cutting he slipped with the saw %26amp; cut into the gum along the other teeth. My bf felt horrible pain %26amp; then after getting it cut he accidently grabbed a nerve. A few hrs later my bf got up %26amp; ran into the bathroom %26amp; had about 7 mouthfuls of blood come out %26amp; it wouldn't stop. He called the dentist %26amp; he told him it was normal. The bleeding went on for 3 hours and his lips %26amp; face were white with extreme pain. He went in Mon. %26amp; the nurse checked it out %26amp; when she pulled his check back it opened more than it should. The swelling was down %26amp; my bf looked %26amp; noticed his jaw was split from the hole up along his other teeth 2" long %26amp; the bone would spread open. He has been having horrible pain when eating %26amp; tastes the bone marrow.

we cant say anything without extra oral and intra oral examination. Some wisdom tooth are difficult to remove. If u ve any doudt dont hesitate to consult with another dentist and seek the opinion. If there is any bone fracture u can confirm it from radiograph.
