Difficult problem.: It depends if it is an acute or chronic problem. Many patient with infected wisdom teeth have restricted opening due to infection. If you take antibiotics, the opening should improve. If you have a permanent decrease in opening - could be a problem. See an oral surgeon who can tell you the reason for your restricted opening. Then first you would address the restricted opening. Then the teeth.
