They are technically correct. The bacteria do stop eating your teeth after you die. At least the bacteria that are normally in your mouth.

They'd be technically correct if that's what they said but they didn't say bacteria stop eating your teeth after you die they said they stop rotting when you die.

Mouths are dirty. Food caught in teeth, plaque, bacteria, a moist environment. This is a great place to rot something. That said, most mouth sores, or cuts heal quickly. Our bodies are a confusing thing.
