Default predator tank eel fish fight..need fish help or a dentist.

In my 180 tank I have a gymnothorax ueppelliase eel sorry I don't have a common name. Just over a week or so I introduced a large Lunare Wrasse he darted straight for a pvc pipe behind some rock and run smack into my eel they had a battle for a couple of minutes in the pipe shaking the rock and pipe pretty hard. Then no movement for quite sometime. Next time I looked in the tank the wrasse had some bad cuts on his face and not looking very happy. I noticed what looked like injuries that I thought he might have got from running into my urchin, round holes with almost white heads coming out. My eel has not had much of an appetite since this and the wrasse is not doing so well. Today I had a good look in the eels mouth, he's missing and has a bunch of broken teeth. The teeth are stuck in the wrasses face!

Should I remove the wrasse and pull the teeth out with tweezers? Leave them hope that they'll fall out?
Do the eels teeth re-grow? Some of his teeth are broken and in his mouth sideways? Can I, should I do anything for him?

Thanks in advance, sorry for the long post.
