Montana is One of the Worst States for Dental Health
WalletHub has a number of really informational studies and articles. In the latest one on overall dental health we are categorized as having overall pour dental health in Montana.
This is exactly why I have been embarking the last 4 years on overall oral health. Starting with a general dentist and now an orthodontist. The stereotype of the southern states being known to have less teeth holds true in the worst states for overall dental health... BUT Montana is not in that group yet made the list.
47 Montana
48 West Virginia
49 Alabama
50 Arkansas
51 Mississippi
We also made the top of the list for the highest percentage of adults with poor oral conditions. Brushing and flossing are not a choice in my opinion it is needed for overall health and wellness.
