I just attended a LLL conference this weekend and
attended a session called Breastfeeding and
Dental Health.  I believe the main source of the
info came from a study entitled "Investigation of
the role of human milk in caries development."
(Pam Erickson, Pediatr Dent 21:86, 1999). 
However, the speaker included an entire page of
references with her handouts.  I'd be happy to
scan the handout and send it your way if you
wish.
