There is no treatment that you can really do at home not on your own atleast, you can go to a chemist and they should have a temporary filling kit there that you can buy over the counter however you will need someone else to help with this and you will have to follow the instructions provided. You should and i strongly suggest that you see a dentist concerning your teeth as a temporary filling is just that temporary.

You can try warm salty water and toothpastes that are designed to help with sensetive teeth as well as some basic painkillers like paracetamol for example but make sure that you follow the directions carefully.

Take care
