Can a tooth survive without a nerve?

Yes. The root surface (cementum) and the periodontal ligament (to which the bone attaches) are still alive and are still innervated by nerves and blood vessels. Thus, a tooth with a good root canal can usually (and about ninety-nine percent do) be maintained for the rest of your natural life.
