This is not normal. It is 100% your diet.

Eat a carnivore diet and your tooth issues will go away. At least try to eat only real foods, never add any added sugar into anything and avoid all processed foods (treat rice and pasta as processed foods as well, they are not real foods!).

There are plenty of books out there that show that for all indigenous tribes, as soon as they got into contact with western civilization and started eating a carb heavy diet (beer & grains), their teeth rotted away within one generation.

Is the diet angle related to the contact of the food with the teeth, or is the related to something that happens after digestion?

If it were only related to contact of food with teeth, wouldn't rinsing your mouth after eating achieve the same effect as any diet like "carnivore diet"?

The diet angle is just sugar and carbs.

Immediate contact and for quite a while until you brush again. Leftover sugars are turned to acid by mouth bacteria.

I believe it's much more about nutrition, though there is a difference in oral microbiome too. Explanation at https://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2010/12/dr-mellanbys-... (The author, Stephan Guyenet, is not a carnivore-diet proponent afaik.)

Any examples of those books?

And by “carnivore”, do you mean specifically including meat? Or do you mean something completely different, like a ‘varied & balanced’ diet?

I find it odd to list the biggest change in a move from a more tribal to a more westernised diet as being “beer & grains”. I would have expected the increase in sugar and chemicals/preservatives to be the relevant factor.
