Hello and thanks for consulting HCM.
i have read your query and yes it can be due improperly erupted wisdom tooth.
if the wisdom tooth is completely or partially impacted and causing pain and food lodgement then its better to get it removed.
Meanwhile you can do certain things:
~rinse mouth with lukewarm saline gargle
~maintain good oral hygiene
~apply dentogel over affected area
~for pain a pain killer can be taken
Hope this answers your query
