Chocolate not only does not promote tooth decay, it might prevent it. According to the American Dental Association, milk chocolate contains ingredients, such as calcium and phosphate that might modify acid production in the mouth that leads to cavities. Some oils in chocolate might also prevent tooth decay.
Chocolate does contain sugar, of course, but these are simple sugars that are less harmful than the complex sugars contained in other foods.

Good to know, Joy! Just last night I was shopping at Walmart and decided to splurge on a bag of Dove dark chocolates. 'Guess I don't need to feel quite as guilty about eating them.
I love chocolate too, but it has to be sugar free, so this doesn't count for me but I'm happy for all others.
