I stopped eating all sugar for 3 years (all carbs actually).
My dentist loved me. My dental visits consisted of me walking in, getting briefly looked at, the dental hygienist doing a quick go over my teeth, complementing me on how clean they are, and sending me on my way.
When I want back to eating sugar, my dental visits suddenly got a lot longer. The cleaning of plaque alone is now at least twice as long.
Dropping the low carb thing I can understand. I do low carb paleo on and off as my fiscal and lifestyle circumstances dictate... but I keep my sugar intake low regardless.
