Bad decay is still very common in developed countries unfortunately. Even if you exclude the poor, there's plenty who still neglect their teeth, whether it be out of ignorance, or sometimes fear. (Also, often see really bad dental situations in people involved with various illicit drugs).
The wear on the teeth was a better thing to look at, from a realism standpoint; teeth wear patterns are different with a coarse diet compared to a modern, refined, diet. Now unfortunately, the animators drew the tooth looking like it had no wear at all... :P

Yes, I quite appreciated that they took the time to get all that right. I don't mind it if the animators miss a little detail here or there (afterall, they're not likely to know the anatomy and how it changes in detail; they're likely working off reference photographs and such), and I'm happy that they did put the effort into it.
