This is a very common symptom of root sensitivity. He should, obviously, have a dentist check to make sure he doesn't have a cavity (or worse). This is especially true if the tooth is also painful when exposed to heat or cold -- that's a bad sign.
If the tooth only hurts when exposed to sugar, suggest that he try one of the "sensitive teeth" toothpastes for a few weeks. Crest makes one, as do several others. They actually do a good job -- but they take at least a week to start working, and several weeks to be fully effective.

The oral surgeon told my son-in-law to get Oil of Cloves from the pharmacy (Wal-Mart has it)& put some on the tooth that was hurting. It worked--the pain stopped completely for several hours. The he just put on more when it started hurting again. He also took Tylenol. This made it possible for my son-in-law to make it thru the weekend (with very little pain) until he could see the dentist on Monday.

Give him a couple of tylenol/ or even tylenol pm so he can relax and don't let him eat any sweets.

WHEN A PARTICULAR TOOTH IS SENSITIVE TO SWEETS, THIS IS MOST OFTEN CAUSED BY A CAVITY THAT IS CLOSE TO THE NERVE. HAVE YOUR DAD SEE A DENTIST A.S.A..P

If you have any whole cloves,the spice, have him put one on the tooth. Have him rinse his teeth first with warm water.
