Can i swallow saliva on the night before my wisdom teeth extraction?

Yes. The caution to go "nothing by mouth" applies to extraneous intake, not swallowing your natural saliva.

You are constantly swallowing your own saliva which is natural. What you should not do is to drink any liquids such as alcohol, beer and sugary juices. Drink enough water to avoid dehydration.
