Almost all foods contain some form of sugar which causes tooth decay.

All food though if left in the mouth will support the growth of germs and other mouth diseases like gingivitis and gum disease. Plaque build-up will result which pushes the gums away from the teeth giving germs even more space to hide.

Left alone these can lead to bone disease and bone loss.

Same applies to most drinks except water.

Milk is good.

Regular dentist visits will help.

Brushing three times a day and before bed is a must for good hygiene.
