How long does it take for a bruised tooth to heal?

No way to predict: Teeth are exquisitely sensitive sensory organs and when traumatized or injured can cause sensitivity for weeks or years! every situation is different and every patient is unique, so the best answer is one that a trained dental professional can offer after reviewing your medical and dental history and the history involved with your tooth related problem.

If only a 'bruise': If the 'bruised' tooth was hit from a blow for the outside and the nerve was not damaged, it should settle down within a week or so. If it is from a new crown, filling, it will not heal until the high bite has been adjusted..
