Since you have had problems with sores inside your mouth for longer than 2 weeks, its time to call an ENT or oral surgeon. Only thru a biopsy will you get an answer to what is going on inside your mouth. The medications the dentist gave you are for thrush. Thrush can be very painful, its usually a white coating on the tongue.
Congrats on being smoke free! Im a former smoker too. I threw the cigs right out the window while I was driving to one of my appointments. I hope you stay tobacco free!
