Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. The canker sores as well as swelling associated with broken tooth which got fixed can be due to-allergic reactions of material used for fixing tooth. This can often occur due to fracture of tooth involving pulp and thus spreading infection into Periapical area. An x-ray of the tooth will help to evaluate the condition of tooth. If necessary, tooth has to be root canal treated or extracted. Usually antibiotics along with analgesics has to be administered in such cases. To prevent canker sores,vitamin B complex as well as iron supplements has to be administered. Hope this helps.
