And WHY would these Cities be the worst for Bad Teeth? Any Ideas?

We all know, but we can't go there.

I work in Hazleton. But thankfully I live about 10 miles north of the hellhole.

I think those skin tags are what I call “boingers”...when you pull on them they “boing” back...

Never mind that kind of thinking. How about Bad Water? Poor Dental Hygiene? Food issues? Anything that these cities share in common?

How does one measure “bad teeth”?

Criteria: Regular dentist visits, not smoking, minimizing your coffee, soda and red wine intake, and brushing and flossing. Other factors, like having hard water or a dry climate, can also stain teeth or create a dry mouth (which can hurt gums). We looked at these factors and found 14 cities that fell short on what it takes to have a healthy, attractive smile. If your city is on the list, it might be time to make an appointment with your dentist.

They never looked at teeth.

This is like those "best cities for education" that only look at public school budgets.

Would you want to pull on one those?? I have seen a few skin tags or boingers on a person, but never saw where it covered every square inch. Who in their right mind hires a guy like that to work food service directly with the public? Do you think it might cause an adverse reaction with the public considering food? Hazelton - scary.

I liked Ricky Gervais in “Ghost Town” playing a dentist when he says to a patient leaving the room “Okay, only floss the ones you want to keep”

What state has the most illegal immigrants that pays for their dental care?

Can it be California?

“WV is not a Southern state”

Really? You don’t think so? Isn’t it south of the Mason-Dixon line? What would you consider it?

If you mean by “Southern” a part of the Confederacy, WV is not Southern, they were the counties that seceded from Virginia after Virginia joined the Confederacy.

Complicated question. Of course WV was created to counter the slave states and Maryland is also below the M-D line. IIRC Lincoln had to send troops to Baltimore because the mayor was going to slow down the northern trips getting south by train.

My sister lived in a house outside of Oceana, WV that was near the slave quarters of the Smith Plantation, which operated with slaves until after the war. The southern part of WV being sympathetic to the confederacy.

I grew up in Logan. Part of the bible belt. There are cultural issues and accents and sympathies which makes some of WV southern, despite the formalities, but it's not cut and dried.

"The 14 U.S. Cities with the worst teeth"

Or "How's that Globalism Working for You?"

By “southern” I mean states that are in the southern - as opposed to northern - part of the country.
Did I offend West Virginians, Nevadans, and New Mexicans? There’s nothing wrong with being southern, is there? I was a southerner for a long time and I liked it. :)
