Do impacted teeth cause inflammation?

I have 2 missing front teeth. They never came out. 1 was removed with surgery when I was about 12 years old, 1 is still inside. Replacement was done with bridge 15 years ago. I am 30 years old. I am attaching orthopan image the below.

I have health problems. I have constantly elevated cortisol and ferritin, decreased wbc and platelets, tired all the time, ... My doctor can not find the reason for my problems, my suspicious is that I have some chronic inflammation.

I am wondering if impacted teeth could trigger chronic inflammation. And if yes, would be that shown in orthopan? If you check my orthopan you will see there is a tiny gap between impacted tooth and bone. Is that normal? I don't see any gap space between other teeth and bone.

Thank you!
