Question 1

Yes, see a dentist!: Yes the nerves in our face and neck are all connected so one tooth can cause all the teeth and tissue on that side to hurt.

Question 6

will teeth crowding cause teeth to feel loose?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The more crowded teeth are, the more overlapping of teeth. They continue to cross over at increasingly lower position, away from the top of the teeth. As a result, the gum gets pushed down lower, to which the bone also responds by moving down. As the teeth move into more crowded position, the bite changes and create traumatic pressure. All that--bone loss and heavy bite--causes teeth to loosen.
