Hi
Thanks for writing in.
Normally wisdom teeth removal doesn't cause loosening on other tooth but if it has been extracted by wrong technique & pressure has been applied to adjacent teeth then it may lead to loosening of adjacent teeth.If you have some discharge from that tooth,it could be abscess.Go for proper investigation.
Complete your course of medications.
Visit your dentist for further treatment planning.
