Surprise at the Dentist

Hello. I haven’t said much lately, but I’ve still been around.
I was at the Dentist today for a small filling. I had a cleaning in May. I had been noticing tartar build up and I was confused as to why it was happening so soon. I asked so they sent a Drill Sargent hygienist in who proceeded to berate me. She grilled me on toothpaste, lack of flossing (which I do twice daily) and the toothbrush I use. She then asked about my “diet”. I assured her there is no sugar, alcohol, grains or junk food at all. …not even soda or fruit! I said that I eat meats, eggs, nuts and some greens now and then. She then insisted that that type of diet causes excess tartar build up?? Has anyone ever heard of this?
I’m just baffled. I would think eating like this would improve things ( and it mostly has)! Oh well…I’ll wait for some responses!

Weston A. Price noticed that native peoples on their traditional diet almost never had dental problems. In fact, tooth decay and the associated troubles were the very first signs of ill health to appear after a population switched to processed Western food, especially refined grains and refined sugar.

Tartar can build up fast even with great habits, so I try not to take those comments personally. Switching to an electric brush and adding a quick water flosser session helped me a ton. I once had a deep-cleaning follow-up done at Colina Dental while traveling, and their hygienist explained exactly what was going on without grilling me, which made it way less stressful.
