Endodontist: Visit an endodontist, a dental specialist who does root canal treatments, to have the tooth tested for vitality and treatment if necessary.

Sensitive sadly: Is an all encompassing generic term. Information needed is - sensitive to hot, cold, chewing, pressure, upon waking up, to touch ... Would recommend another evaluation and x-ray and possible referral to an endodontist. Hope this helps.
