mmmmm: Loss of natural teeth by state
Have a looksee yourself: StateMaster.com has the stats to determine how your state is doing in the fabled war on tooth decay. No one seems too shocked as to which states are losing the most teeth (brings new meaning to the quote: He’s got a real pretty mouth on him, don’t he?); however, I was pretty surprised to find that the two states I’ve occupied the most time in manage to keep more of their chompers in than all the rest.
I guess all that swishing and spitting back in the 80’s was well worth it.
I wish I had your kind of time, my friend. No surprise, PA at #18. I mean, my old high school was just in USA Today for the tradition of riding their big old farm tractors to the last day of school…
