You should consult a dentist and go ahead with the treatment.If your tooth has a small cavity a filling will solve the issue.But if your cavity has extensively damaged your tooth where in RCT or filling cannot save the tooth then you will have to go for extraction of tooth.The exact T/t will be decided by the dentist after proper clinical and radiographical examination.
Next Steps
Consult a dentist.
Health Tips
For sensitivity avoid hot and cold foodstuffs for a few days.

When a doctor has suggested u to remove thos teeths means those are destroyed way beyond saving, usually a deep cavity in a tooth can be sorted out with root canal treatment,may be u don't have sufficient tooth structure left to do root canal treatment,if so,then better get it removed and go for replacement procedures.
Next Steps
consult ur doctor as see wether any way to save thos teeths rather than Removing them,
