You can use temporary filling, which can be bought at most drug stores. It's a chalk colored paste that come in a container the size of a thimble. It costs about $5. The paste hardens after you fill the cavity with it. Depending on the brand, it will harden enough to eat hard foods without causing discomfort.
Rinse your mouth with mouthwash and hydrogen peroxide before you insert the paste to kill any bacteria.
If you need to remove the temporary filling quickly. Chew some bubble gum until it comes out.
Ask your pharmicists for more details.

The best thing is to keep all your teeth! extractions are not recommended at all, unless is really necessary,. OK.. you need to see a dentist right away, there is nothing you can do to make it better, just keep it clean, it will start to hurt eventually if cavity gets deeper to the nerve.
So I suggest you make the appointment and talk to your dentist ASAP.
