Your gums have grown over your wisdom tooth. Ideally, the wisdom tooth should be removed. The second option is to remove the excess tissue which is grown over the tooth.
Next Steps
If it’s mildly painful, then take Hifenac 100 MG - 6 Tablets ( Morning and night for 3 days). If the pain is severe, then I will have to give you antibiotics. Let me know how painful it is. Also for the front tooth fractured composite filling, it can can be done after the lockdown

If the gum tissue growth is not hurting, nothing needs to be done. The gum will separate if the tooth is able to grow more.
Yes the filling needs to be done in front tooth, but better to delay until corona scare is over.
