Primates don't ingest all of the sugars that we do (soda, candy, etc..). That causes plaque, which leads to tooth decay caused by mutans streptococci and lactobacilli, bacteria that lives in plaque. The bacteria feeds on the sugars (fructose, glucose, sucrose, lactose, and other starches) and the acid waste product from consuming the sugars cause the demineralization of tooth enamel and dentin, especially lactic acid.
