Sensitive part of a tooth (5)

I believe the answer is:

nerve

(Other definitions for nerve that I've seen before include "Impudence; sensory fibre" , "Bodily fibre that communicates sensations" , "Dangerous type of gas" , "Courage - cheek" , "Bodily fibre carrying sensation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
