Usually. And if any part of the pulp or nerve is exposed then absolutely. Just like humans, a broken tooth will hurt, get infected and can lead to severe problems. It needs to be checked by a vet as soon as possible for full advice.

Yes. Many dogs lose their teeth when they become very old, so they have to eat soft food that doesn't require chewing, but they can definitely eat with no teeth. Baby food is a good food for dogs with no teeth, as is canned dog food.

My neighbors had an older dog with bad teeth when I was a kid and they fed him soft canned dog food along with cooked vegetables and a few table scraps. He was a happy old dog and lived seventeen years!

Yes, i would not recommend trying to get them out yourself, though. You can take the dog to a vet and they will extract the teeth.
