Reply to comment by Lithuim in eli5: do animals have as many oral health problems as humans do? Do their teeth last the majority of their lifetime? by Chillay_90
As I'm laying here, with a tooth recently extracted, I just realized that when I wrote the question I was thinking that majority of animals actually lived til "old age" when in reality that is the rarity not the common.

Yeah mother nature is more of a Thunderdome kinda woman. More social animals do sometimes get some help past their prime from their younger kin, solitary carnivores are pure kill or be killed.
