Should I Use Warm Compresses Instead Of Ice For The Swelling And Bruising After My Novocaine Injection, As Ice Isn T Helping?

I had a dental filling done yesterday and while the Novocaine was being injected my cheek became swollen and painful. The dentist said that the medication must have went into my cheek. Today it is bruised and very swollen. Ice is not helping and that is what she told me to use. Should I be using warm compresses instead?
