Tolkien Teeth

How do you expect the teeth of the inhabitants of Middle-earth were? I don't think Tolkien ever mentions anything about a dentist! We all know that the teeth of medieval peoples were practically falling out of their head. Do you think Tolkien's medieval inspired world had similiar misfortunes with teeth? Or do you think the highness of say the Elves and the Numenoreans contributed to pearly whites with little to no care needed?
