Did you ice your cheek for 15 minutes on/15 minutes off throughout the day? That helps. If it is a lower jaw tooth, that is typically more painful than an upper one. Take the pain meds they give you, but don’t overdo. The next day, if there is still swellling, use ice, then later on apply heat (i.e, a hot water bottle). refuah shelaima. I have BTDT four times.
