I am to have a root canal done on the tooth. I have noticed that the lymph node in my neck on the same side as my necrotic tooth has been slightly swollen for some time. Could this tooth be causing my lymph node to swell. Also, I sometimes have experienced neck pain on that side and thought it was sinus drainage coming down from the drainage canal near the ear. Could it in reality be the tooth.
Thanks for any thoughts |
Make sure you ask your dentist, but I've heard that the teeth cause general illness and lymph node swelling and ear problems. Definitely a possibility!!! Let us know what becomes of it!!!!
