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.)
