I have a lot of fillings and crowns also and what helped me was I wedged cotton rolls between gums and teeth and teeth and tongue on both sides. They also have tongue protectors but I think the cotton rolls worked a little better. It helps if you moisten them first. I got mine from the nurses station in radiation oncology.
