Porcelain veneers & temperature sensitivity?

mcs2013
I had 9 upper veneers done 6 mos. ago. They look & feel fantastic, but the temperature sensitivity is still bothersome. Will this eventually subside? I have been advised to look into a root canal. Why wouldn't the need for a root canal have been ruled out PRIOR to doing the veneers? What is the procedure for diagnosing this after the fact & the procedure for determining if such is even necessary? Since standard root canals carry many health risks & dangers, I would want to seek alternatives.
