The key is not eating for two to three hours after your hygiene care (brush,floss,waterpic), this will pretty much keep you healthy. Anything with flavor in between meals will destroy tooth structure, the saliva has to have this time to remineralize the teeth and kill the left over bacteria produced from the meal that are impossible to remove any other way without hurting you also. Anything less than this and your asking for problems. I drink milk with my meals every day and my teeth are fine, the key is with my meals. Now some foods do cause more trouble than others , but all will cause disease if the body isn't given enough time to balance itself back out. Hope this helps.

Yes, that is why you never put a baby in the crib to sleep with a bottle. The sugars are not the real problem, but the sugars promoted bacteria growth that affects the teeth. You can see kids that have their front baby teeth horribly decayed due to parents putting them to bed with a bottle of milk.

All sugars are bad for your teeth.

yes.
If you have a teething baby ( as I do)
the doctor will tell you that letting them sleep with the bottle will rot their teeth.
bacteria in your mouth mix with sugar to make acid, that eats your teeth
but as long as you follow a normal routine of brushing, they do not present a problem

Yes. If you don't clean your teeth regularly.
