Survey: St. Louis Has Nation's Worst Teeth
Residents of St. Louis, Missouri have the nation's worst teeth.
That's according to a new survey done by "Men's Health" magazine.
The magazine looked at a variety of factors, including community water fluoridation, the percentage of people who saw a dentist in the past year as well as the number of dentist offices per capita.
Their conclusion: While St. Louis is a great city, it has the most dentally challenged population.
Coming in right behind the Gateway City was Philadelphia, followed by Newark, New Jersey, Baltimore and New Orleans.
On the other end of the spectrum, the best teeth were found in Colorado Springs, followed by Anchorage, Alaska; Raleigh, North Carolina; Anaheim, California and Virginia Beach, Virginia.
