A major cause of tooth sensitivity is root exposure. Kindly consult a dentist in person for further suggestion. We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need cleaning along with desensitizing procedures and / or artificial enamel filling and / or root canal treatment. Advance procedures can be done with laser too. You may consult me in person. Until then apply a desensitizing paste (sensodyne tooth paste) on the teeth. Wait for 10 to 15 min until you brush your teeth with the same paste. Applying it overnight will be better.

Hi lybrate-user, visit your nearest dentist for restoration (filling) of the cavity. Your dentist will evaluate the extent of the cavity and suggest you the treatment (filling or rct). For the time being you can use any over the counter available anti sensitivity toothpaste like sensodyne rapid relief/ hydent k/ ra thermoseal. Clean the cavity by rinsing your mouth after every meal and brush your teeth twice daily after meals.
