Tooth decay, or dental caries is not caused by the lack of any particular vitamins or nutrients. Unlike diseases such as scurvy, which can be prevented by intake of vitamin C; or night-blindness, which can be prevented by vitamin A intake; dental caries prevention is not diet controllable. However avoiding sticky sweets and starches especially in children may help reduce the chances of caries .

∙ 12y agoIf cavities are already present, then nothing will really "reduce" them. They have to be filled, or they will use any food and spread, making a bigger hole and can have a possibility of having to have the whole tooth taken out.
BUT, cavities can be PREVENTED by eating less sweets and sugars etc, and eating a little more vegetables or healthy foods.
Brushing regularly can also help.
Hope this helped!
