Sometimes I get stiff neck, too. It goes into my shoulders and sometimes down my back. For me, it sometimes has to do with redistribution symptomes. ( At least, that's when I seem to notice it.)

I had a tooth extracted. Dentists don't want to admit to cavitations because of all the hastle it brings them, unfortunately. However, the oral surgeon I went to does them and the bone underneath the tooth had to be cut back some. This guy was fantastic, though. He doesn't use anything in his office that is a known carcinogen. He promises no pain and I had none. It only cost me $500.00, which was cheap compared to getting the amalgams removed. I felt much better when he got that tooth out and it healed.
