An abscess is basically an infection of the tooth. It usually begins at the root of the tooth, and is associated commonly with a cavity. So basically, one way to possibly get an abscessed tooth is to have a cavity with an infection.

Is treatment the same for an abscessed tooth in an elderly person?
Yes, usually. If they are in good health, but if they are in poor health, depending on the severity of the infection, they might be treated in the hospital. If the abcess is not bad, and the tooth has good bone protection around it, and the other teeth do too, a root canal can be done to take out the infected nerve, and with antibiotics after the root canal is complete, the abcess 99% of the time will go away. Then the tooth will SOMETIMES need a crown, but sometimes a tooth colored fillng can be done, if the elderly person is not concerned with esthetics.
