Yes, ice can help tooth pain by relieving pain and numbing the nerves.
Here's how you can use ice for tooth pain relief:
- Application: Place one or two ice cubes in a plastic bag.
- Location: Apply the ice pack to the aching area or on the outside of the cheek that covers the painful tooth.
- Important Note: Avoid using heat packs, as they can worsen the pain. Also, refrain from eating or drinking sweet items if they increase the pain.
