Can you use a heating pad to reduce the swelling of your cheeks after wisdom tooth extraction?

It is recommended to use cold compresses against your cheeks and jaws for the first 24 hours following surgery. This will minimize the amount of swelling you experience. After 24 hours, it is recommended to use warm compresses to dissipate whatever swelling does occur as quickly as possible. A heating pad would probably be acceptable, so long as you don't set the heat too high.
