A cat who has broken its jaw will have pain opening its mouth, not be able to open or close its mouth, have swelling, may pull away from applied pressure, and may cry because of pain. A vet can x-ray the jaw to verify if it is broken, and treat the cat properly.
The first thing would be to take it to the vet if it hasn't recently. Cat that is losing teeth is in need of treatment and is likely to be in pain (just like people do when they have a decaying tooth). Left untreated, gingivitis can worsen and can effect a cat other than their mouth. Gums have a rich blood supply, so bacteria is readily transported to other organs (such as the liver, kidneys etc.) in the body causing damage & even organ failure. In serious cases, teeth have to be extracted to stop this from occurring.
In any case, a vet will be able to tell you how to care for a cat with few or no teeth. It has been said that cats adapt very well without teeth - even more so now it is no longer in pain.

What happens when a cat swallows a tooth?
Nothing will happen if a cat swallows a tooth. Kittens, when teething, will normally just swallow each tooth as it comes out. A cat's stomach has evolved to digest a carnivorous diet which includes meat, organs and bones, so a cat can easily digest a small tooth. However, if your cat is an adult and seems to be losing teeth, it is advisable to take it to the vets so they can check the cat's mouth for any infection or injury.

How can you tell if a tooth has gone bad under a crown that has a root canal?
If a tooth has a root canal filling you will not be able to know because the main factors of a tooth that has gone bad is sensitive to hot and cold or tender when putting any pressure on the tooth but if it has a root canal it is slightly different because the nerve is removed so you cant feel it. The tooth if it has a root canal will always go dark as the tooth is dead but this does not mean it is bad. The main sign of a bad tooth that has had root canal is an abscess under the tooth so if you feel pain when lying down that is keeping you awake at night or when leaning forward it really hurts then you have an abscess and that tooth will most probably have to be re-root canalled by a specialist or extracted! :)
