Possibly: Not really sure of your question. One sign of an infected lower tooth can be swollen glands under the jaw (in the floor of the mouth or in your neck).

See a dentist: You need to visit a dentist for x-ray and exam to diagnose the cause of the pain and swollen lymph nodes, may need extraction or root canal treatment.

See Your Dentist: Unfortunately you need to see your dentist so that they can take a radiograph (xray) and do an examination to determine why your glands are swollen. Typically, if a lower tooth has a large cavity, your glands can swell due to the fact that they are filterin bacteria from that part fo the face. Fortunately, your dentist can make the right diagnosis and take care of the problem.
