Does anyone know of any home remedies for a toothache?

Question:

I am going to the dentist in the morning but am in pain now, I had a white filling put in about 3 months ago and its worse than ever now, at first it started out aa being sensitive so I went back to the dentist and he said it could take up to a year to lose it sensitivity, and i have been flossing daily and brushing with sensitive toothpaste, but nothing seems to help. At first it was only sensitive to cold or biting down, but now it hurts when i eat anything cold or hot and bite down plus now it is hurting all the time it feels like a nerve is being pinched or something. What should I do. I know the dentist is just going to want to do a root canal but I dont want a one i want it pulled its a back tooth so it wont be noticable.

Answers:
First of all let me say, it's your tooth, not the dentists. If you want it pulled say so. If he wont do it, find a new dentist. I am sure your town is not lacking dentists. It sounds like to me that you have more of an issue than just a sensitive tooth. No home remedy will fix that. You can rub clove oil (essential oil) on the gums and tooth and it may help some, but you will only be covering up the symptoms. You need to be examined and if you could have the tooth pulled without causing future issues, then by all means insist on that. You pay the dentist, he doesn't pay you. It is to some degree up to you.

Put an aspirin on the bad tooth and let it dissolve
