Horizontal wisdom tooth which has a deep cavity could be treated with either a restoration ( filling) if it has not yet reached the pulp of the tooth or by extraction ( if the tooth is symptomatic ( pain ,swelling ).

Hi,
If there is a cavity, it is advisable to remove the tooth before the pain starts. Temporary filling will not solve the underlying problem.
