How come animals don't brush their teeth, yet they dont get cavities while we humans go to dentist every year?

Question

I get frustrated knowing that animals do things completely different than us yet they live fine. For example, they dont go to the dentist because they dont have one but are their teeth filled with oral cancer or gingivitis, do they floss every night? NO, but they still have suuuuper strong teeth, how can that be??

They dont get vaccines to prevent illnesses but are theY about well, YES

It seems we have made ourselves more delicate and soft while the rest of the animal species seems to be fine with their lives. they dont perform a lot of the things we do and for most of the history of this earth,it was like that, so how come we humans depend sooo much on these human amenities???

Answer 1

Actually animals can get cancer and gingivitis, their teeth can get gross and fall out.

My cat has gingivitis.

Answer 2

One possible explanation could be that humans have tried to enable even the weakest of our species to continue to survive and reproduce.

In the rest of the animal kingdom, only the strongest survive and the weak and sick die off.  Thus the species continues with only the strongest animals.

That could be one explanation.

Answer 3

cuz they dont eat the same things we do....
