I believe i have a swollen lymph node by my back molar. it's been sensitive and swollen for about a week. when do i need to be concerned?

You already are..: .. otherwise you would not be asking. It may be related to a dental infection, it might be due to something else. Start with your dentist to rule out any pathology with your teeth and oral soft tissues, and then see your physician once you are cleared by your dentist.
