A member asked:
Does pulp/nerve tooth damage show up right away if it was caused by trauma? what is the time frame it would take to know you are in the clear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not always immediate: Sometimes it takes a while (years) for the damage to manifest itself. Have the tooth monitored by your dentist since there may not be any outward symptoms.
