If my tooth at the front is damaged, can the pain travel up the back of my jaw that would make me think that the back teeth were damaged? can one bad tooth make other "healthy" teeth feel sore?

Yes! Teeth can also give you backache.

Yes it can especially if the tooth infected and is full of poison as this can infect the gums espcially is an abcess has formed underneath the damaged tooth.
I hope you have been to either your dentist or doctor to ask for advice and that the your tooth is fixed very soon.

Pain has a memory and will often go to sites of previous pain.Many times making proper diagnosis difficult.
Trying to focus on exactly where the pain is coming from can in many cases lessen the amount of pain that you feel

Yes it can. Since nerves in the mouth are interconnected to the roof of the mouth (palate), as well as the jaw and nerves to the skull, which can cause headaches, you can experience pain in several different places at once.
If it is a front tooth (incisor), most likely your sinuses will be affected.

Yes, I believe so. The roots that are connecting that bad tooth connect ALL your teeth. I advise that you take care of that bad tooth and maybe visit a dentist before it cramps up your jawline and/or neck muscles. Good Luck!

Yes, I usually get this. I get pain in 3 different teeth then it settles down to the real tooth. My dentist says this is very common and it's known in the trade as "phantom toothache".

Yes you can get referred pain.
There are many nerves in the face and the nerves in the teeth often affect the jaw and face.
Hope you are being treated by the dentist if not go asap - take paracetamol for pain in the interim.
It may make your healthy teeth feel sore but is unlikely to make them unhealthy.

Definately, toothache can appear as earache or can effects the eyes or nose. It can also cause neck pain and pain in the chest. It defiantley can cause healthy teeth to feel diseased. They call it referred pain. The nerveo f the diseased toot can be damaged so you feel the pain elsewhere.

Yes it can, I had the problem many years ago. It was only chance that the bad tooth was discovered. Nothing had shown up on X-Ray. The dentists was about to refer me to hospital for sinus problems. Hope you get sorted soon.
