I don't agree with the below .
If an abscess is caused by a big cavity in a tooth that has reached the pulp chamber, then the tooth is weakened from the decay. The abscess itself won't break the tooth apart, but the tooth might break because it became weaker from the presence of the cavity.
An abscess if a pocket of infection and its pressure can push onto a tooth but the tooth will likely only chip or break apart if it has been weakened by acids like coffee or soda. a good way to check this is to get a small light like a dental light and place behind the row of teeth in a semi-dark room now if u can see the teeth light up from the light behind them then your teeth are thin and u need to check with your dentist about what they can do to help.
