Probably not : You need to see a doctor anytime you have numbness of any part of your body. Wisdom teeth usually cause pain and tightness-not numbness. Please seek medical attention.

Probably: The nerves to both your chin and tongue usually sit right under and right next to a wisdom tooth. It is very unusual for it to spontaneously produce numbness in either or even both of those places. I'd go visit an oral surgeon and have it checked right away.

Maybe: I recommend you see an oral surgeon for a consultation for your wisdom teeth. You may need to have your wisdom teeth extracted. Consider sedation for your comfort.
