You need to undergo dental checkup and then full mouth cleaning as you have visited a dentist in your childhood . Everyone should go for dental visits more often as it can prevent a lot of gum diseases as well as save us from extensive procedures like RCT's. You also need to rule out if the sensitivity you have is due to some carious teeth.
