Is an implant the best way to replace a missing tooth?
It depends on the situation but generally speaking an implant has the longest life for tooth replacement in research studies and most closely approximates a natural tooth in chewing, and in how you clean it. If you need 1 or only a few teeth replaced then this is what I would do on myself. However you would need a consult to determine if it is possible or there may be other circumstances that another option may be best. READ MORE
Should I go to the dentist if my gums are swollen?

Why do I need a root canal?
If your dentist says you need a root canal it means that either the tooth is dead (the nerve and blood vessel to the tooth) and not removing will cause an infection or there is not enough tooth structure to restore the tooth without also doing a root canal and putting essentially an anchor in the tooth to help hold the crown on.

Why do my teeth feel loose?
This is most likely due to periodontal disease or gum disease. You would have to see your dentist and have an exam and x-rays to determine the cause. Rarely other more serious diseases can cause this but that is very rare. READ MORE
