I'm not sure I believe that. I think kids going without brushing their teeth for a while would be okay if they weren't constantly ingesting vast quantities of sugar.
Yes and no, if you look into older dental recorders in history you will find that missing teeth was very common, and that dental hygiene was...not great.
Now their teeth was certainly not as filthy as we portray it as, they actually did brush their teeth with rudimentary things, but it was certainly no where even remotely close to the level that we have nowadays, and as a result having dental issues was unfortunately fairly common.

I don't disagree with that, I just think the sugar is probably the primary culprit.
