Get your mom checked for diabetes.
Use tongue scraper, try to remove it regularly. If it reappears & feels more velvety, Visit a nearby dentist & start with an antifungal treatment including clotrimazole mouth paints & mouth washes having similar properties.
It could be a case of oral thrush.

The condition you have described seems to be something called as a Candida Infection. It is a fungal infection of the mouth with typical features of white appearance of the area and burning mouth. This issue gets exaggerated if she has a medical underlying condition like diabetes.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist nearby to get a thorough examination and antifungal treatment needs to be started. Mainting soft diet with no aggrivating food like spicy food
Health Tips
Wait for the lesion to heal before continuing her dental treatment

Hello
Your dermatologist has already diagnosed it as fungal infection( might be oral candiasis).Can you tell me about your mother's medical history like if she in on medication (steroids- it can aggravate the condition),she is immunocompromised (eg:autoimmune disease).If your dentist has prescribed Antibiotics it can also exaggerate the symptoms.
Next Steps
Visit your dentist and your physician for final diagnosis and treatment.

Aap jo describe kar rahe ho (white layer, red spots, burning, pain), ye zyada tar Oral thrush (fungal infection) jaisa lag raha hai. Root canal ke baad kabhi-kabhi infection ya immunity weak hone se ye badh sakta hai.
Kya ho raha hai?
• Tongue/cheek par white layer + redness + burning
• Ye fungal infection (Candida) ka common sign hai
• Diabetes ya recent dental treatment ke baad risk badhta hai
