question: a few months back i cut my left inner cheek accidentally later on the skin of that particular area got thick. Considering the thickness seriously I consulted to two dentists (Dental surgeons) they examined it and assured me there is nothing serious. Although due to the course of time there has been no change in color, shape and size of the thick part. But my problem is now I am having swollen lymph gland below my ear some time it is tender. C’d this be because of the tooth cavity in premolar and impacted molar teeth. Please tell I am highly dipressed.
