I got some inquiries about my earlier statement that mere dietary changes can essentially abolish tooth decay arising from S. mutans.
First, it is common sense. Your dentist tells you that sugar is a problem. ALL carbohydrates, including complex carbs, break down into one thing: sugar. In fact, carbs are simply sugar polymers. Your saliva even contains compounds that turn carbs into sugar. So if you eat grains, grain products, sugars and starchy roots, S. mutans might be a problem for you unless you remove (through brushing and flossing) all hint of carbs from your mouth quickly after consumption. If you don't eat these things, it won't be a problem.
Of course, I am geeky. I cultured S. mutans and played around with the content of the growing medium. Yup, just as with anything else, it makes a difference. This is not at all unprecedented. Common gut bacteria alter what they produce based upon what they are fed too.
My experience is far from unique. I eat what is called "paleo diet." Others on this diet have the same or similar experiences. Links to useful resources follow.

Seeing that alcohol also breaks down into sugar (beer that is) we should also stay away from it. Just kiddin. Most people are going to have a cavity at some point in their life. the main point is brush 2-3 times per day and floss once a day. The more sugar you eat, spread throughout the day, the more likely you will develop cavities. Now go and enjoy yourself and don't worry about cavities. We need job security too.

Don't worry, I won't put you out of business. Carbs bond to the some of the same receptors as opiates -- they are addictive. Just as with trying to talk people out of drinking and smoking, I won't be able to overcome their rationale for their addictions.
And to make matters worse women sometimes get sugar cravings at certain times.
So you won't be hanging up your drill anytime soon!
