We are talking vegan teeth care and tooth decay on a raw vegan or vegan diet. Does a vegan diet cause dental problems? No. Abstaining from meat, dairy, and eggs does not inherently lead to tooth decay.
Vegans have just as many problems with teeth as those eating meat do. A commonality though amongst raw vegans or natural-minded vegans, is to relax on teeth brushing and oral care. This certainly leads to tooth decay and cavities, regardless of diet.
To say, “A plant-based diet causes vegan teeth decay, because there are a large number of people who are vegan and have teeth decay, is akin to saying ‘”eating meat, dairy, and eggs inherently leads to tooth decay, because there are a large number of people who are eating meat and have teeth decay.
“Tooth decay is the single most common chronic childhood disease—5 times more common than asthma, 4 times more common than early childhood obesity, and 20 times more common than diabetes”
