No: A camp or metal devices to stabilize a bone fracture will not cause tooth decay or gum disease. Dry mouth from medications or uncontrolled diabetes are more likely the cause of sudden, rapid bad teeth.

No: Many factor go into the decay and loss of teeth. These factor include home care, diet, genetics, and how often you go for professional dental cleanings and exams. You can't change your genetics, but all of the other factors are controllable. See a local dentist for a consultation.
