    No, but there are products like clove oil that help kill the pain a little. And of course, Tylenol, ibuprofin, and aspirin.

    A filling won't stick to your tooth without a very clean dry tooth surface and a special amalgam (filling material). You could scrape together a few dollars for a dentist to give you a temporary filling which might last a long time, but no guarantee.
