The type of food you eat can determine your mouth’s bacteria biome, which none of us had any fucking way of knowing, other than pure chance.
Streptococcus Mutans trives on refined sugars that are available to us in modern times. They create a biofilm around your teeth that traps the bacteria itself, along with it’s acid byproducts.
They eventually wear down your enamel, and other bacteria start feeding on the softer dentin within. The acidic environment kills off the original Streptococcus Mutans bacteria.
Isn’t that why we brush our teeth, though? Like… What am I doing wrong? At this point I wish I could convince a dentist to pull all of my teeth, including the healthy ones, and give me dentures. I’m 34, and I don’t smile, I don’t eat out with friends, I don’t do anything that may show my teeth, because I’m missing a front tooth and I look like some cartoon hillbilly. I hate it so much.

You probably just won the bad teeth lottery. Other than that, coffee and other acidic foods also wear out teeth.
