Hi..
Thanks for the query..

It looks like due to repeated dental procedures and use of novocaine and other dental materials there has been inflammation inside mouth that is leading to soreness and pain..
You should also get your crown checked as there might be any sharp point or edge over the crown that might be causing injury to tongue and cheek and causing inflammation and pain..
For now you should gargle with specialised mouthwash that has numbing agent as well as anti inflammatory composition like Magic mouthwash that will help in reducing inflammation and pain..
You should do cool water rinses and suck ice as both helps in reducing heat and inflammation..
Avoid spicy, acidic and hard foods..
Take Vitamin B complex daily..
But along with it get your checkup also done..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
