I have attached photo as well. Is this pain because of the teeth. I am a smoker as well. I consulted my dentist and he said its because of the tooth. But I am scared as I m a smoker. Please help

Get Sonography of neck and submandibular region. It will confirm the cause oc swelling and also rule out an abcess.
