Broken jaw

Hi, my partner has his way wisdom teeth out 7 days ago. All was healing fine and he was eating a sandwich and suddenly there was a giant crack in his mouth. He now has severe pain on the left side of his jaw and up into his ear? Is this a broken jaw or fracture that could have been caused by getting his wisdom teeth out?

Your descriptions suggest tmj injury instead of jaw bone fracture.seeing a dentist to have a preliminary evaluation is advised.
