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.
