Will getting 4 cavities filled make your lymph nodes swollen?

It shouldn't: But an infection can. See your dentist to check those teeth.

No: There is no relationship between a dentist filling your teeth and swollen lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are part of the "filtering" system of our bodies. They can swell from infections, allergies and numerous medical problems. It's always a good idea to have your physician check these issues out just to be safe.
