A member asked:

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

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

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

Yes: Often get swollen lymph notes since when wisdom teeth break through the gum tissue get some inflammation. Make sure your wisdom teeth are evlauated/treated by board certified oral surgeon.
