Hi,
The knots or lesions in the neck may be enlarged lymph nodes. The use of the meth can possibly affect the immune system and may, therefore, affect the lymph nodes in the neck.
If the teeth cannot be replaced, then dentures can be placed to help with chewing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
