How To Fix Persistent Toothache Without Losing Tooth?

I have a persistent toothache. I brush and floss daily, but it keeps recurring. I watch what I eat as well, to avoid aggravating it. There is gum discoloration around the tooth as well. The pain hasn't been real excruciating yet, so I'm hoping there's a way I can fix this problem without losing the tooth, since I have already have lost a few. I use mouthwash a lot to help kill the germs. It temporarily helps the pain, but eventually it returns. Is there an inexpensive way I can ease the pain and eventually heal the tooth?

thanks for your query,
the features what you are giving looks like inflammation of the gums it can periodontitis, causing mild dull pain....it requires a thorough oral prophylaxis...consult a dentist to perform radiographs to rule out ant decay in the tooth...use of mouth wash clears the microorganism for a short period of time but the hardened food debris called calculus will not b removed by brushing or flossing so consult a dentist...
i hope my answer will help you..
