Here's a map with charts and stuff about dental health in large cities.

The funny thing is showing this to condescending New Englanders and other people who use the term 'flyover country,' since the best and worst teeth aren't anywhere close to where they would expect. Nashville, TN, is ranked 2nd overall, while Philadelphia is ranked 2nd to last. The best teeth were in Madison, WI, while the worst teeth were in Lubbock, TX (actually, Texas, as a whole, did pretty bad).
Oh, and for a few of my favorite people, Little Rock, AR, was ranked well above Boston, MA, and Atlanta, GA is ranked just higher than New York, NY, though I must admit San Fransisco did quite well (still got beaten by Nashville, TN and Charlotte, NC, though).
