Ora-gel or nothing else will help enough, and he will be exposing himself to a much higher chance of infection. He may already have an infection in the tooth, and may need antibiotics. He should call the dental office tomorrow and see if they want him to go to an Urgent Care setting.

How many times can one do a temporary filling of a tooth?
A tooth has five surfaces that can be filled. Fillings can wear out or break over time and be refilled. If a tooth breaks apart too much, it may need a crown to protect it. A tooth can break beyond repair and need to be removed, which is a good reason to not fill a tooth too many times. A temporary filling is just that… temporary. Sometimes they can last for years. They are usually placed to sedate a tooth that hurts, due to time restraints, or related to costs, i.e. the patient can’t afford a crown. When patients keep putting off the final restoration and keep replacing the temporary filling they risk breaking the tooth since the temporary filling is not as structurally sound. So… in this round about way… the answer is that you can do a temporary filling as many times as you want until the tooth breaks beyond repair and has to be extracted. Try to get the tooth restored with the final filling or crown in a timely manner.
Can you eat with a temporary filling?
Temporary fillings are meant for a short period in your tooth. Most of the times your dentist will place a pellet of medication for the affected pulp tissue inside and place a temporary filling over it. this filling is later replaced later with a permanent one. Till then it is essential to maintain an infection free and sterile environment in the cavity.Temporary fillings are Zinc Oxide Eugenol(ZOE) cement or sometimes Eugenol free cement. These cements take a while to set after they are placed.

How do I remove temporary dental filling?
Quick answer: you don't. Any feelings you get are just that, feelings. Fillings are not temporary at least they're not supposed to be. If there is a temporary filling, it's only a temporary filling because the doctor isn't finished with the root canal procedure. And still, the answer would be; you don't. And if this is the case then it would seem to me that you were prescribed antibiotics, to get rid of the infection that I'm guessing you have. With that being said, make sure you take all of your antibiotics! The painkillers take what you need for the pain, fine whatever. But your antibiotics take all of it! Do not get to a couple left and think, I don't want to deal with it anymore! And then stop taking them. If you do, your body could possibly become immune to the antibiotics that were given. If the infection didn't go away when you decided to stop taking the last couple of antibiotics? Then antibiotics will never work for you again. And whatever pain you were in to get you to go to the dentist to begin with? For the rest of your life, you're going to have to deal with that pain! Should an infection ever occur again.P.s. Mr. Peter Gorner,I realize this looks like I was getting down on you for something you didn't do my apologies. It just kind of gets to me and I'm sure almost everybody that works in a dental office. When talking about antibiotics and pain. Patients are always coming in mad at us because they're in a lot of pain as if its our fault. When we ask them; “did you take all your antibiotics?” 99.9% of the time they say “no” and then we proceed to tell them, “well that's why.”P.s.s. Patients near & far…It's o.k. we understand.
Is a temporary tooth filling supposed to hurt?
I believe the thing that may be causing the pain is the pressure from the temporary filling on your cavity. Temporary filling is meant to be used on teeth whose fillings have fallen out, or for gluing temporary crowns and caps back on your teeth for a short amount of time, its not meant to be put on cavities, because by blocking it off it could cause it to get worse. I would get a dentist appointment asap, because it doesn't take much for a cavity that is hurting constantly to reach your roots, then you would need a root canal, and they are not the funnest things in the world. I hope you feel better, I have been their and its not to fun. Till you can get an appointment try: ~ To keep away from foods that are too cold or too hot, because teeth with cavities get very temperature sensitive and the changes in temperature can cause a shock of pain that can last anywhere from 5 seconds to 20 minuets. ~Get ora-gel (or any numbing cream for your mouth) and put it around the sensitive tooth, both on the outer gum and the inner gum. Then put a little on the top of the tooth, this will dull if not cease the pain for a while. ~ Try to rub garlic paste on the tooth, its a old remedy my grandmother would do to my teeth, and for some odd reason it helped a lot. ~Drink pineapple juice or eat pineapples, It will reduce swelling of the cheeks, which should take some pressure off the gums. ~Use an ice pack on the pained side of your mouth in the morning, then switch too a heating pack at night. ~ Try to not take Ibuprofen if you can, because your body will start relying on the medication instead of trying to heal it on its own. ~Don't floss around the area, just go to the dentist asap, by flossing, you increase the irritation to the gums, and it will cause more pain and it can cause bleeding.
