Hi! gone through your query.

You did not mention if your wisdom teeth errupted or not. Your last lower teeth can be hurting your gums.Have a course of antibiotics and analgesics.
you must get the sharp tooth roundened.
Use a mild mouthwash.
Get a full mouth X-ray.
Get the third molar removed if present.

Regards.
