Something else for us nutmeggers to brag about. I'm not sure how accurate the information is, but there are tons of catergories to sift through. Richest states, Healthies states, States with the most murders, etc...

haha. That made me laugh. Looks like the stereotypes are true when looking at the states that lose the most teeth.

What would you attribute CTs lack of tooth decay to?

My guess would be the attitude of people in CT (health conscious) combined with the high quality of life (lots of diposable income).

Notice there is a very strong correlation between the "fat states" and loss of teeth and the "not so fat states" and healthier teeth. There also seems to be a stronng correlation between the wealthier states and good health. No surprise there.

That's why I keep going to the dentist every 6 months.

It also has to do with the fact that most of CT is on public drinking water that contains flouride...
