If you have a tooth pulled from the bottom of your mouth will the tooth that is above it fall out or will other teeth shift?

Typically, your teeth remain in their present positions because of something called 'equilibrium'. That means that all the forces acting on the teeth are equal in all directions. When something changes, such as the loss of a tooth, the equilibrium is lost, and the teeth will sometimes shift or change position until equilibrium is re-established.
Sometimes the shift in the remaining teeth will be minor, almost unnoticeable. In some cases the shift can be quite dramatic, even shocking, and other teeth can be lost due to the change.
If you lose a tooth, your dentist can recommend treatments that can compensate for the lost tooth to prevent the changes that can adversely affect the rest of the mouth.
