1.Diet
Unlike humans, most animals—especially those living in the wild—don't eat cooked
food. This provides their teeth with protection from tooth decay
because they aren't eating foods that are heavy on refined sugar.
2.Microbacterial Flora
Animals' mouths, like humans', are filled with both good and bad bacteria.
Streptococcus mutans, which thrive in high sugar environment, is the primary cavity-causing
bacterium in humans and animals. Animals never ingest a lot of sticky carbohydrates,
thus their mouths are never swamped with this kind of bacterium. As a result,
there are less tooth decay for non-human animals.
3. Life Span
Most of the animals that have teeth have far shorter life spans than humans. So they simply
just didn't get a chance to get tooth decay before they die. And if you are wild animal,
you probably will die very soon after you get tooth decay since
you won't be able to chew and digest the nutrition you need.
