Dianne-TX Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Has this ever happened to anyone? DH had a deeper dental cleaning last week and this week his glands/lymph nodes are swollen, I think. They feel swollen and the left side looks swollen when you look at him. He is calling the dentist tomorrow. We've never had this experience before, but he's also never had a cleaning done like that before. Just wondering if anyone else knows anything about this.
