Hi considering you have done the preliminary treatment would suggest you to continue Sensodyne repair and protect for a week more.
It needs to be applied like an ointment , leave it for a couple of minutes and then brush.
Post brushing do not rinse immediately with water.
Wait for about 15 mins again before rinsing with water.
If sensitivity still persists and if it is with respect to a particular tooth then different tests need to be done to figure out the cause.
Next Steps
Follow the instructions told and give it a week's time.

Hi
If x ray is normal then continue using the same toothpaste.
Method of using:-
Take pea size paste on your clean finger tip, apply it on the tooth and massage it for 2-3 mins leave it for 2 mins and then brush .
Within 2 weeks you should find relief.
Next Steps
If it persists , kindly visit your dental surgeon.
