Wisdom teeth extraction gone wrong

I went to get my lower wisdom teeth extraction recently. The process was fine until the doctor repeatedly said "that's not good" to himself. I was a bit nervous when I heard that. After everything was done ,he told me my 2nd molar was pulled out along with the wisdom teeth. And he said he put it back in, hoping it will stabilize or grow some root back. Or else ill have to do something called "teeth bridge" to tie that 2nd molar with another teeth. What do I do now ? Do I have to pay for that extra things ?

Sometimes a tooth that has been knocked out in an accident can be put back in and it "takes root" so-to-speak. So, given this, I believe that it is possible for the molar to reattach, I've just never heard of this before. Being that it was a mistake I have a feeling the dentist will pay for the bridge, in case the molar doesn't take to be replanted.

The condition is similar to transplantation. Root canal treatment of second molar is warranted.the transplanted tooth generally will be fixed again as time goes by.
