Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that swollen tissues with white spots along with pain after dislodged crown can be due to rubbing of the side of the tongue to the rough tooth surface leading to excessive keratin deposition in that area along with inflammation and pain..
It can very well be resolved it the source of irritation is removed that is your tooth..
You can get a metal ceramic crown over it..
I would however still suggest you to consult an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated and if anything is suspected he can do a Biopsy to confirm the cause..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
