Hello there. I can understand your concern. Wisdom tooth extraction can cause some swelling in the cheek area, how ever, double chin is got nothing to do with the tooth. Be clear if you meant cheeks or the chin itself. Take medicines as directed by your dentist and if it still persists, then consult the dentist in person for further evaluation and management. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain.
