First have a consultation with the Dentist... Check with an x-ray and then should go for treatment... Hidden caries or bone loss can cause such food impaction, so you need to check with it...

Get an X-ray done to check the position of the wisdom tooth. If the gap can be filled with a filling then fine else if it is in a wrong position you may require removal of the wisdom tooth
