Hi...tooth pain is due to a decayed tooth in his mouth... treatment could be either a root canal or extraction of the tooth if it is beyond repair. Now the confounding factor is his bp. If his bp has increased above normal then he needs to get it under control before treatment can be initiated. A root canal still can be performed in a patient with high bp using certain precautions.however extraction could be a problem as high bp could lead to excessive bleeding. So get his bp assessed asap and visit a dentist with the report.

Please visit a dentist as soon as possible because without seeing him clinically it is not possible to say anything because pain could be because of many reasons. Don't try to treat him at home without showing him to a dentist.
