Hello
Please visit your dentist! Even if food lodgement is occurring around the cap you would have sensitivity. Professional cleaning of your teeth should be done once in 6 months.
Your dentist needs to take an X Ray to evaluate the condition of that capped tooth.
Next Steps
Visit the dentist soon

Sometimes adjacent teeth may be affected, which gives symptoms of sensations.
So please varify to which teeth gave sensation.
