Well, Brian, congrats for making positive changes on finding what wasn't working for you. :)

I'll share my experience, and hopefully you find it a counterbalance to what your dentist says (btw, dentists are trained to believe this stuff themselves -- they get lots of freebies from the fluoridated toothpaste companies, etc.). For me, I began to get cavities as a young child (mother put me to bed with a bottle full of apple juice, which bathed my teeth all night). I grew up using fluoridated toothpaste and drinking fluoridated water and continued with cavities here and there well into adulthood. In the past year-and-a-half of transitioning to and finally eating predominately according to the 811rv way, and also working on my weak links such as sleep, I have not had one cavity and get stellar reports from the dentist/hygienist every six months. I also ditched the fluoridated water and invested in a reverse osmosis system that removes the fluoride (PUR water filters, etc. do not). I brush using a toothbrush and filtered water (no toothpaste, "natural" or otherwise). And, I floss. That's it.

Hmmmm . . .
