Tooth ache with occasional sensitivity mostly might occur because of a cavity. To conclude it should be checked and supported by an X Ray. so please visit your dentist to confirm. It's mandatory to visit your dentist every 6 months for a check up and get treated if any initially rather than wait till it worsens.
