Brief Answer:
sensitivity, desensitizers, restoration

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query.
The sensitivity in your tooth could be because of abrasion(tooth wear due to abnormal forces applied over the teeth during brushing) or erosion (due to excess use of acidic beverages) or decay.

Consult a oral physician and get yourself examined and if the abrasion or erosion is very mild then you can use desensitizing agents like sensoform tooth paste. Use twice daily for one month.

if the abrasion or erosion is deep or decay is present then the tooth has to be cleaned and restored with a cement material.

I hope my answer will help you, take care.
If any queries are there reply me back.
