May happen: Tooth may get non vit with trauma but does depend on intensity..Doesnt mean that trauma will always cause the nerve to be damaged..Get it checked by your dentist ..Sometimes may not even see symptoms for months or years...See your dentist.

Yes: However, you most likely did not get sufficient trauma to cause that tooth to die.
