IS IT TRUE THAT WHOLE OATS CAN CAUSE TOOTH DECAY??? Or whole grain, I have cavities and I would like to just.... not have them continue to become worse cavities. What's foods other than the obvious ( like sodas, sugars etc ) should I be avoiding?
Everything can cause dental caries.
Brush your damn teeth.

Wrong. As long as you have a low sugar diet you should just be able to scrape of plaque build up with a tissue.

Avoid anything high in sugar. Some oats have added sugars or dried fruits which a horribly bad for your teeth. Avoid things like sunflower seeds. Stick mostly to fresh produce and whats in season and you'll be fine.

okay so what about genetics, what do you think about that having to do with teeth health???
Just brush more often. At least once a day. Flossing doesn't hurt either.

Genetics play a role in the development of teeth and your oral flora. Oral flora and diet (they are interrelated) are the largest components of keeping your teeth, and keeping them intact.
BRUSH YO TEEF; don't eat a diet composed of sugar and pop.
