Post Op Instructions: First and most importantly, STOP using ice. It's important to reduce swelling but only in the first 24 hours! After that it shouldn't be used as it limits the body's circulation in the are which is not helpful for healing. Swelling may take a few days before it starts going down. What you should do is discuss this with the dentist who treated you. Call the office for advice.
