Often times this type of sensitivity is caused by receding gums that expose the tooth cervix or even the root itself. The dentist has to evaluate your case to determine the best course of action, which may be a dental restoration, an application of Fluor to the area or surgery to cover the cervix. A cavity might also be causing pain.
