Cavities have exposed dentine which is the underlying layer of tooth structure (underneath enamel). The dentine is formed in cylindrical tubes that extend to the pulp. Sensitivity arises from changes in osmotic pressure of the dentinal fluids due to cold and sugar. This causes a stimulation and results in nerves sending out signals. This is the most accepted theory although there are others.
