Hello
Usually there's no reason for drooling after a wisdom tooth extraction.
Do you feel numbness in the area still?
Use some warm saline gargling to heal any gingival inflammations amd infection which could be causing this problem. Get your teeth cleaned once by a dentist, it could be helpful.
Thank you.
I find this answer helpful
