tooth decay

Caries, a/k/a/ tooth decay, is caused by
parasitic bacteria, munching on a film of sugars.

According to evolutionary theory, the biological
imperative is to survive and procreate, passing
on one's genes. The caries bacteria is not contagious,
has no means of transmission. It dies with the host.

And, sans dentist, the host will die; following
abscess, or, very likely, by cliff dive, as untreated
tooth pain is unbearable. I have no doubt that
toothache is the chief culprit of suicide through history.

Therefore, how has the caries organism survived
so long?

I think this proves Darwin was wrong and God exists.
