Question 1

check with your primary care or dentist.

Question 2

can impacted wisdom teeth cause swollen lymph node in neck? i noticed it and i don't know why it's there and i'm worried. going to the dr later this month?

: An impacted wisdom tooth without infection should not cause a reactive lymph node. However, reactive lymph node is common so there is nothing to concern in the mean time, please patiently wait for your appointment. Take care and good luck!

Question 3

will impacted wisdom teeth cause swollen glands/lymph nodes?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Impacted wisdom teeth that are symptomatic can contribute to pain and swelling of the lymph nodes.

Question 4

my gum is swollen around my wisdom teeth, difficulty swallowing, swollen lymph nodes and a slight headache.

Accepted Answer

Dental appointment: Well, it sounds to me as if you are trying to get me to think in terms of an infection around your wisdom teeth or in your wisdom teeth. Well, you succeeded. Sounds to me as if you might have an abscess forming and should see a dentist as soon as possible. Get to brushing and flossing your teeth regularly to keep everything as clean as possible, maybe a waterpik and make that appointment.

Question 5

Call the surgeon: May be within normal limits, but let the surgeon that did the proceedure check it out for you.

Question 6

i have swollen lymph nodes and sore throat a week after wisdom teeth removal, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See oral surgeon: A week after dental extraction, you should be in better shape than you presently are. You should return to your dentist or oral surgeon asap for an evaluation. This is something that needs to be evaluated in person.

Question 7

wisdom teeth got extracted 9-7-14 (6days ago) i have a swollen lymph node on the left and yesterday and today the red veins in my throat have darkened?

Accepted Answer

What to do:: What you need to do is call the dentist who extracted your wisdom teeth, discuss your symptoms and ask to be seen to have the area evaluated. This is not something that we can do over the internet. Post op care is part of the responsibility of your treating dentist until healing is assured.

Question 8

i've had a 0,5 cm swollen lymph node for 2 months. doc said nothing to worry about. now i think i can see 3 wisdom teeth hidden in my gums. my ear/throat hurts. can wisdom teeth cause a swollen lymph?

Accepted Answer

Infection: A swollen lymph node can be a sign of an infection, even a chronic one.  This is something you should see your doctor about right away.  You might need antibiotic treatment, or you could have an abscess, which would need to be drained.  Call your physician for an appointment ASAP.

Question 9

can cutting wisdom teeth cause swollen glands?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Partially exposed wisdom teeth can be difficult to keep clean, and may be prone to chronic periodontal problems or acute infections which can produce significant swelling and pain.

Question 10

please tell me, are swollen glands normal with incoming wisdom teeth?

Accepted Answer

No, not usually: Lymph nodes would not enlarge unless there is infection which will cause swelling and pain.
