Saying eye doctor in a conversation feels normal. Saying tooth doctor feels like listening to someone who had a bad disco elysium roll and they’re punching themselves in the face to get the words out.

Probably because of the more common word “dentist”.
That’s because it’s shorter, eye doctor is slightly shorter and easier to say and spell than opthamologist
counterpoint: paediatrician.
Funny, because in German it’s exactly that: Tooth doctor (Zahnarzt).
Tierarzt sounds normal but animal doctor sounds weird
