No - any food can contribute to tooth decay. It's just that the bacteria that causes cavities feeds on sugars - so - the more sweets and sugary foods we eat, the more chance we have of developing cavities. It's poor oral hygien more than the type of foods we eat that's more responsible for tooth decay.
