...'my rabbit's tooth get abscess because i don't give him enough grass to grind his molar'....
if the abcess is caused by over grown teeth the vet will need to trim the teeth as well as remove the abcess
 
if i try hard to feed him grass.
will the molar be grind to normal ?
(but his molar is grow to the opposite direction (root)..)
 
A rabbit's diet should compose of 90% hay, in particular, hay stem. They need a huge amount of fiber. The remaining 10% is pellet, green, fruits and some treats.

The hay is also necessary as it helps them wear off the on growing molars in their mouth. If your bun doesn't have hay stem daily, eventually his molar will overgrow, then you need to have teeth surgery. Hay stem greatly reduce the growing of molar (teeth)

It might do but he really does need his teeth filing down especially if he has an absess. The medicine will be to fight the infection but he will probably still need an operation to fix his teeth.
