I have jaw pain that seems to be getting worse, what could this be?

I am a young adult, and I’ve had quite the dental complications. Over the course of a year, i have recieved about 26 cavity fillings (towards the begging of the year) which went perfectly fine. Not much pain after, just soreness. Then, i had a root canal done which went fine as well. After all of this, i was fine and nothing hurt anymore. Then i started getting infections due to a baby tooth. I ended up getting that baby tooth pulled, because after 4 different antibiotics in the course of 6 months, it was getting to a point where even strong antibiotics wouldn’t do much of anything. The dentist said once i get it pulled, the infection should go away. I got the tooth extracted, and everything was perfectly fine. No pain as usual after i get dental procedures. It’s been about two months since i got my tooth extracted, however, and i feel like my lymph node is slightly swollen on the same side of the mouth that i got the tooth extracted, and when i bite down, i feel great soreness/slight pain on all of my teeth/jaw on that side of my mouth. I am going to make a dentist appointment tomorrow, but don’t know how long from now they will take me. I just wanted some peace of mind and to see what others think it might be?
