No. 3: Mobile, Ala.

Mobile has a lot working against healthy teeth. It's the no. 5 smokiest city, and the state is no. 4 in most teeth loss, no. 48 in dentists per capita and no. 47 in exercise. Their poor mouths!

"If you live in one of these cities, or maybe your smile could just use a boost, check out our guide to the best and worst teeth whiteners here." Teeth whitening isn't going to improve your oral health, in fact whitening your teeth with rampant decay and advanced periodontal disease will do more harm than good. Stick to lipstick and mascara, and leave the dentistry to the experts please. Irresponsible journalism, if I do say so myself.

Know what? I never got to find out what the 14 cities were because your site is so crammed with pop-ups and adverts that the individual pages that had the individual cities on them took more time to load than I have. This is rdiculous. I will NEVER go to your site again for any reason. This is a joke.

Um where did you get your facts? I find it extremely suspicious that ALL 14 states (well except NM) are the southern states, and it feels to me as though you are just trying to make it go with the stereotype. Although I do not live there anymore, I do not appreciate the statement, "Arkansas as a whole is not concerned wit their teeth" (not quite verbatim). Because that is just not true, and was an unnecessary rude comment.

Amen to needing major dental work. I think we need to make dental insurance affordable for everyone! Dentists seems to think that we have boocoo bucks to fix a tooth. No wonder people are crossing the border to get their teeth fixed. I would hate to have to resort to this!

I found this was a very interesting article indeed. There is only one thing that needs to be considered in this survey, LACK OF HEALTH INSURANCE. I don't live in one of the mentioned cities, but needless to say I have major dental problems that I would love to have fixed, but lack of finances
