Pam -- Cheese, celery, apples (not apple juice), avocado, whole milk, and water are all tooth-protective... also xylitol mints.
So... a smart strategy might be to END a meal with one of the above... maybe a piece of cheese, a couple of apple slices, a stalk of celery, etc.
Hope this works for you.
Know how tough it is to get the folks we care for to do mouth care. Been there, done that. ;>)
