Is heat or cold better for tooth pain?

I agree with using cold packs. Applying ice wrapped in a towel to your cheek for 15 minutes is the safest way to reduce dental pain temporarily before seeing a doc.

I had a massive toothache last month and made the mistake of putting a warm patch on my face. It actually made the swelling worse because of the heat. Use ice instead, it numbs the pain instantly until you can get to a dentist.

For toothaches, cold therapy is definitely better. Heat can accelerate blood flow and worsen any underlying bacterial infection or swelling. Apply an ice pack on the cheek for 10-15 minutes at a time, and avoid biting on that side.

Tooth pain is the worst, yaar. Actually, never use heat on your cheek if it is swelling because that makes it flare up like crazy. Just stick an ice gel pack on it and book a dentist appointment immediately.
