During the European [[Age of Enlightenment]], the belief that a "tooth worm" caused caries was also no longer accepted in the European medical community.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Gerabek WE |title=The tooth-worm: historical aspects of a popular medical belief |journal=Clin Oral Investig |volume=3 |issue=1 |pages=1–6 |year=1999 |month=March |pmid=10522185 |url=http://link.springer.de/link/service/journals/00784/bibs/9003001/90030001.htm |doi=10.1007/s007840050070}}</ref> [[Pierre Fauchard]], known as the father of modern dentistry, was one of the first to reject the idea that worms caused tooth decay and noted that sugar was detrimental to the teeth and [[gingiva]].<ref>McCauley, H.

In the 1890s, W.D. Miller conducted a series of studies that led him to propose an explanation for dental caries that was influential for current theories. He found that bacteria inhabited the mouth and that they produced acids which dissolved tooth structures when in the presence of fermentable carbohydrates.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Kleinberg I |title=A mixed-bacteria ecological approach to understanding the role of the oral bacteria in dental caries causation: an alternative to Streptococcus mutans and the specific-plaque hypothesis |journal=Crit Rev Oral Biol Med. |volume=13 |issue=2 |pages=108–25 |year=2002 |pmid=12097354 |url=http://crobm.iadrjournals.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=12097354 |month=Mar |day=01}}</ref> This explanation is known as the chemoparasitic caries theory.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Baehni PC, Guggenheim B |title=Potential of diagnostic microbiology for treatment and prognosis of dental caries and periodontal diseases |journal=Crit Rev Oral Biol Med. |volume=7 |issue=3 |pages=259–77 |year=1996 |pmid=8909881 |url=http://crobm.iadrjournals.org/cgi/reprint/7/3/259.pdf}}</ref> Miller's contribution, along with the research on plaque by [[Greene Vardiman Black|G.V. Black]] and J.L. Williams, served as the foundation for the current explanation of the etiology of caries.<ref name="suddickhistorical"/> Several of the specific strains of bacteria were identified in 1921 by [[Fernando E. Rodriguez Vargas]].<ref name="SFCD">[http://web.archive.org/20080603232606/sanfranciscocosmeticdentistry.blogspot.com/2003/05/dental-carie-causes.html San Francisco Cosmetic Dentistry]</ref>
