Necrotic Nerve: It appears the nerve in that tooth has died as a result of the trauma. You have an infection that requires immediate attention. The tooth requires root canal therapy and most likely a crown. The alternative is extraction. Waiting to get treated only makes things worse and decreases the chances of saving the tooth. Please see a dentist.

Abscess: The tooth is infected, and the infection is spreading to other organ systems. It may be fractured, or the trauma may have caused the "nerve" of the tooth to die. Please see your Dentist immediately. You may need root canal/crown or extraction/implant/crown. Time is n to you friend,caqll your Dentist.
