ICE PACKS decrease inflammation and numbs thepain. Keep the pack wrapped in a clean cloth whileyou are using it. Do not use an ice pack for more then10-15 minutes.

AVOID hard, crunchy, and chewy foods. Soft orblended foods allow the jaw to rest. Do not stretchyour mouth to accommodate corn on the cob orwhole foods.
