My dentist came down and hit one of my front teeth with a camera while taking some images. he was not looking and hit my tooth pretty bad. i didn't think anything of it but a month later that same tooth is hurting could this be the reason?

Could be. Ask dentist.

The tooth was traumatized and the nerve injured. It is possible the nerve is dying, and an x-ray is needed immediately. If the tooth looks darker and a swelling is occurring, than a root canal is indicated. Did your dentist explain this possibility of occurring?
