An infected tooth itself does not directly cause a urinary tract infection (UTI), but the bacteria from a dental infection can potentially enter the bloodstream and spread to other parts of the body, including the urinary system. This is more likely to occur in individuals with weakened immune systems or other underlying health conditions. Maintaining good oral hygiene and treating dental infections promptly can help prevent such complications. If you're experiencing symptoms of a UTI, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Can an infected socket cause the adjoining tooth to be loose?
An infected socket has a potential of bone loss, if the infection persists for too long. Presence of socket means that a tooth has been extracted out recently. Normally this socket should be filled with regrowth of bone with passage of time, but if it gets infected, there is no bone deposition until infection resides. And if infection persists, the acidic medium caused by pus starts dissolving the surrounding bone tissues as well. Result will be... an adjoining tooth becomes loose!!!!

And you can most definitely visit any emergency room for medication. Infected teeth are very serious and could cause very serious problems.
