She doesnt show signs of pain and is snuggly and playful. Its been more than a year since she lives with me now. I wanted a profesional opinion on this. I have a pic of her teeth.

Hello. At some point in time, Picole could still develop an abscess that could travel down into her jaw. The recommendation of all veterinary dental specialists is to either have the tooth removed or perform a root canal, even on an older fractured tooth.
