Sensitivity in the upper tooth i.e. teeth 28, got x-ray done today. which is being attached here. The lower tooth. i. e teeth 37 is advised root canal. xray of that is also being attached.
Hello,
The x-ray of the upper tooth is visible here.(lower x-ray is not visible) .The upper x- ray shows OBVIOUS DECAY on the front side ( mesial side ) of the wisdom tooth, which should be causing the sensitivity.

Health Tips
It helps to get the treatment done at the earliest. May help not to chew on that side till you get treatment, and to keep that side clean after each meal.

The X-ray is not clear enough to show precise details. But it appears to be lightly tilted - technically came out in different direction than it should be. Mild sensitivity may need just some filling and if it cannot be filled comfortably as last teeth might be difficult to access, you can consider it for removal.
The X-ray for 37 is not attached.
