Which
U.S. Cities Have the Worst Teeth?

Totalbeauty.com recently approached Irwin Smigel, DDS., founder and president
of the American Society for Dental Aesthetics(ASDA) and creator of Supersmile,
to define a set of criteria that he believes makes for good teeth.

Dr. Smigel responded with the following:

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)(totalbeauty.com).

With these criteria in hand, Totalbeauty.com analyzed data from cities across
the U.S. to determine the 14 cities with the worst teeth.
