Unknown: This type of problem needs to be determine locally, by a local dentist. Even teeth with small cavities can be sensitive after being restored. Have the bite checked.

Sensitivity: Sensitivity may be due to damage caused to the nerve of the tooth by the cavity, by gum recession, especially between teeth, or by occlusal disharmony because tooth when wisdom tooth drifts forward it is often not in perfect occlusion. See your Dentist to discover the cause, and thereby the appropriate treatment.
