Did the dentist shave/file too closely as to expose a nerve?

guguletu37
I went to prep for a crown, when I got home the evening; I all of a sudden had a toothache and sensitivity to room temperature, hot and cold food/drinks... this discomfort went on for a week and a half. I contacted the Dentist, and went in, he looked at the tooth and said he couldn't see/find anything wrong... but thinks that I now need a root canal. I think he probably did shave too closely and exposed a nerve... just my opinion. What do you think? Thanks in advance.
