With your description of the book (which I don't know), I'm now
wondering how his teeth wore out, but not the rest of his body.

Presumably, the friction involved in chewing would do the trick.
Unlike most of the body, teeth aren't self-repairing.

does and it's some magic keeping him alive, including the teeth. :P
