Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There ia no connection between geographic tongue and impacted wisdom tooth.
So if you have an impacted wisdom tooth you should consult an oral surgeon and get evaluated.
An x ray should be done to see if you can get a simple extraction done or needs a surgical extraction of the wisdom tooth.
It should be followed by a course of antibiotics and anti inflammatory painkillers like Advil.
For geographical tongue you can keep a meticulous oral hygiene and take vitamin B complex daily.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
