Sugar absolutely leads to tooth decay since bacteria feeds all the more easily on it, which produces acid that weakens teeth.
No, that's a dental lie, just like flouride in water. Tooth decay is due to a mineral imbalance, where the body takes minerals from the teeth because it needs them somewhere else, due to a deficiency in your diet.
Carbs/sweets can lead to tooth decay, you are correct, but 100% sugar is only ONE TYPE of carb/sweet.
I have to take much more care of my mouth after carbs and sweets than meat and oil. I could easily go days without brushing eating meat, but notice plaque accuмulation just hours or minutes after having carbs or sweets.
100% sugar is not causing your plaque.
Sugar -- carbs -- sweets....These are all 3 totally different categories of foods. You can't just lump them altogether and act like they are the same.
What type of carbs? Spagetti/grains/breads? These are not simple sugars. Sweets (i.e. candy) or chocolates? These are usually mixed with other things and aren't simple sugars.
