Depends on: The answer depends on whether your swelling is related to wisdom teeth that are still present in your mouth, or swelling following their removal. If related to teeth still in your mouth, the swelling could be related to an infection or a possible cyst and should be evaluated by your dentist. If related to their removal, follow the postop instructions provided by your dentist/surgeon.

A simple thing: Applying moist heat to your cheeks has been shown to reduce swelling after or before wisdom teeth extraction.
