I'd suggest you have a dentist take an Xray. The wisdom tooth and the adjacent 2nd molar are tilted away from each other, and this can lead to decay between the teeth because of a broad contact area. Or it can lead to bone loss and a gap which might account for your feeling. Often I would advise the extraction of the wisdom tooth to prevent future problems with the more important 2nd molar.
