Worst teeth in America

Posted on Mar 26th 2008 8:56PM by Chris Sparling

Brushing and flossing have apparently fallen to the wayside for certain U.S. cities, especially Lubbock, TX. According to Men's Health, the Hub City has the dubious distinction of having been crowned the city with the worst teeth in the nation.

Appearing in the current edition of the magazine, the list takes a look at 100 cities across the U.S., paying specific attention to respective residents' pearly (or not-so-pearly) whites. To arrive at their conclusions, the editors analyzed statistics from a myriad of medical sources, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Here are the worst 10 cities, as they appear on the Men's Health list:

100 - Lubbock, TX

99 - Philadelphia, PA

98 - Spokane, WA

97 - Salt Lake City, UT

96 - Jackson, MS

95 - El Paso, TX

94 - Portland, OR

93 - Tulsa, OK

92 - Tucson, AZ

91 - Baton Rouge, LA

To find out where your city ranks, or to simply read the rest of the list, check out the latest edition of Men's Health magazine.
