if where the tooth is infected and that made it loose yes, if it is from Gum disease no.
Yes , depending on the diagnosis. Consult your endodontst
It depend on the degree of mobility
It is nit recommended. It's a bone loss problem, you could do bone grafting after, possibly. Depends on severity of infection
It depends on why the tooth is loose. You need to see a dentist, have some x-rays taken so they can determine if the tooth is fractured, if you have any type of periodontal disease or something else is going on.
Depends on the periodontal status
