Janis adds:

Yes, Weston Price is ideal. But also see....

Sapoty-Brook's Eco-Eating talks about getting a proper net calcium balance
and sodium/potassium balance to prevent dental problems on a largely raw
vegetarian diet (he's mostly fruitarian, also eats green leafy veges and
some fish).

In addition to Weston Price, I just read a book based upon his research
called "Root Canal Cover-Up" which had some good discussion of diet and
dental health, although this wasn't the central focus of the book.
