Hello!
As per your history and investigations reports the cause of your cervical lymphadenopathy is some benign condition. The primary location might be in mouth and throat. If you are some some long standing tooth or gum problem, it leads to the primary cause. Visit your doctor for treatment of primary cause and also go for check up for regular interval.

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
The enlargement of lymph node shows some kind of infection which is present there.
As the dentist is mentioning that your gum is infected, then this problem can be because of gum disease only, as they are situated below the lower jaw.
Better you should get complete cleaning of your gums done.
Hope it will help you.
