Dental issues: Yes, keep the appointment. Sounds like you have infection in your gums which the laser will help remove.

Probably: Call your dentist and tell her/him your symptoms. Usually glands swell as the first response to an infection and the infection can be caused by your periodontal disease for which treatment is scheduled. Your dentist may want to give you an antibiotic if this is the case.
