It's a good thing barbecue is so popular in Texas-worst case, the state's dentally challenged can simply gum their fall-off-the-bone favorite. In ranking the nation's best and worst teeth, two Lone Star States cities-ElPaso and Lubbock finish in the bottom 10, with San Antonio and Dallas close behind. Nor is this just a beauty contest, given that poor oral hygiene is linked to higher risks of heart disease, stroke and even pancreatic cancer. Our analysis includes who visit their dentist annually, number of no-shows whose choppers are dropping out, and the number of households with flouride on tap. When the computer spit out the results, it became clear that some drilling is needed in Texas and we don't mean for oil.
The Acid Bath
Brushing your teeth right after breakfast could be a problem. Cereal, bananas, and OJ are acidic, and if you eat them and then brush right away, you'll remove some of the temporarily softened tooth enamel. Sounds crazy right? It's true. The remedy? Wait 20 minutes before you brush, and save yourself from future damage.
Scan for Stroke
Did you know the panoramic dental x-ray not only offers a 180 degree window into your oral health, but also reveals whether the other plaque is piling up in your carotid arteries. I thought this was pretty interesting. What's really sad is only 10 percent of dentist's bother to look. So the next you see you dentist ask about this x-ray and let him take a look. Better safe then sorry, I say.
Well the polls are in!! This survey shows the cities with the worst smile are Lubbock, Philadelphia, Spokane, Salt Lake City, El Paso and Tulsa. Y'all better get in soon.
