Yes, it is possible. It happens mainly when the root canals are not cleaned properly rather debridement of the infected pulp tissue is not done properly. If pulp tissue is left behind it forms nidus for the microorganisms to form abscess.

Should an abscessed tooth be removed or treated if there is no pain but the X-rays show the tooth to be abscessed?

Yes, you should have an abscessed tooth either removed (or a root canal) done. It depends on what the dentist says. First, the dentist will put you on antibiotics to be sure the abscess is cleared up and then do the procedure. Most dentists prefer to save your teeth if at all possible so discuss the root canal as an option.

What is a rootcanal?

Sometimes an infection in a tooth becomes abscessed. At that point, it becomes necessary either to pull the tooth or to clean out the root and fill it. A root canal means the dentist cleans out the root of the tooth. He or she drills out the nerves and blood supply to the tooth. The tooth may have one, two, three, or four roots. Each root is cleaned out, filled, and then a regular filling is placed in the rest of the tooth.
