There's a good page about diet here:
http://www.nationalsmileweek.org/smile_week_oral_health_information/diet.htm
It's not so much the amount of sugar you consume, but rather the
frequency. Be aware of "hidden" sugars in fruits, juices, etc. A
high-fluoride mouthwash (don't rinse after use) would be useful, and if
you can get hold of it, you might want to try MI Paste (GC Tooth Mousse
in Europe). It can be ordered on the internet, for example from
dentist.net.
Dry mouth can also greatly enhance your susceptability to decay, so if
you do have a dry mouth, xylitol-containing sugar-free boiled sweets
may help.
Don't think Calcium is much use.

Jim,
thank you for sharing your experience and encouragement.
It seems doctors are not too interested in this thread and I'm not so sure
what they think about taking Calcium. You might want to try it too but it
seems that in the US nobody mentions this. My non-US dentist says to take
Calcium in every 6 months for 1 month in duration, 2 standard capsules per
day. During the last year I skipped it twice (was moving and later had other
problems to take care of, life is crazy here). It seems I got more cavities
than usually.
