When do i use an ice pack to reduce swelling?

Question

i just got my wisdom teeth removed. right now its been 27 hours since then. I didn't see any swelling yesterday, but i still put the ice pack on my cheeks a little bit. today the swelling started.

my question is that is it a good idea to put and ice pack on today as well?

Answer 1

Well usually when you get swelling, its advised to put ice on. The ice reduces the temperature where the swelling is, so it can even out. I would continue to have the ice on your cheek  till the swelling reduces or stops.

Answer 2

yes its good to put on straight away. it will reduce in couple of days.

Answer 3

I'm no doctor but if you feel like you need an ice pack put some thing around the ice pack and use it every 20 minutes or so.

Answer 4

its a good idea to use a ice pack right away. so it will stop future swelling.
