Im guessing it can, My cat died yesterday from that, they said it would cost 500$ or more just for one day to TRY to bring her back to good health. We didn't have the money and put her down with kisses all over. My advice is DONT let this go untreated, if your cat starts acting weird, stops eating, and eventually stops drinking go to a vet! I wish I went earlier.

Type your answer here... if your dog has an abcess in its back teeth it is serious because it will become painful when they are eating and sooner or later they will stop eating all together. In order to stop this from happpening you need to contact a vet as soon as you notice it and they will give you medication.

hope this helps you and your dog

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.
