Without an X-ray it’s hard to say . I know with kids that fall and Push their permanent teeth back up into the ridge ( traumatic intrusion) the teeth will usually re-erupt back into place. If the blood supply to the tooth was disrupted it may require extraction. May need to find a more dentally savvy vet .

Since your vet was concerned about nerve damage, I would trust him or her. I definitely think it's the tooth, but I also think you don't want your dog to be in pain all the time. Next time you see the vet, you could ask about a specialist veterinary surgeon who does nothing but surgery. See if one exists. If there is such a thing, you might want to have the surgeon look at the dog.

@4meAndyou I'm very sorry to hear about your loss...
This is why I wanted some advice, I know bad teeth can be the death of pets... And I really do not want to loose him because of my ignorance... I'm just not sure if the tooth in his nose cavity would/could rot... In my simple mind with everything the vet told me, I think/thought that everything will just heal around it and the tooth will be enclosed, I thought that the tooth would be protected against decaying by the tissue around it... I'm starting to think I misunderstood or something...
