Recommended: cheese, meat, nuts, almonds, milk. These products contain many calcium and phosphorus, which protects tooth enamel. Through the use of these products occurs remineralization, recovery of chemical compounds of mineral composition of the tooth and the density of the damaged enamel in which the mineral elements get into the top layer of the teeth.
Not recommended: white flour and starch. Foods that contain a lot of starch (white bread, pasta made with white flour, buckwheat, cornmeal, beans, lentils, potato chips, etc.) can cause great harm to teeth.

In 2013 in the journal of Dental Research published an article by American scientists from the University of North Carolina, which stated that, in adults, most of my life lived in areas with fluoridated drinking water, 30% less risk of tooth decay than people who live in areas with normal drinking water. The positive effect is, even if people started to drink water with fluoride in adult life.
