Yes......
No, they will not grow back.
It is common for the teeth in front of your extracted teeth to be painful after the extraction. It is called referred pain due to the fact that the same nerve that gives sensation to the wisdom tooth extracted goes to the teeth in front of that wisdom tooth. Now having said that, it is NOT normal for your teeth in front of your extracted teeth to be loose. This may represent some injury to the bone surrounding the loose tooth. Also, if these teeth are being moved orthodontically, they may feel loose due to widening of the space between the tooth and the bone. But this mobility may not be a problem. These teeth almost always stop hurting and feel more firm within a week or two.
You can treat persistent dry sockets after having your wisdom teeth extracted with aspirin or ibuprofen. However, if it doesn't help, your dentist can prescribe an antibiotic.
It is not uncommon for pain to persist along the jaw line. But after 10 days or so, it should have mostly gone away. If not, go back and see the dentist just in case some infection has set in.
