I must love toothless people
CNN.com is reporting that West Virginia (43%), Kentucky (38%) and Tennessee (32%) lead the nation in the number of toothless residents. Those percentages represent the number of people who lost 6 or more teeth last year to tooth decay. So 43% (43%!!!) of West Virginians lost 6 or more teeth last year. That is crazy!
I grew up in WV, went to grad school in TN and now live in KY, so I feel like I've really beaten the odds by retaining all of my teeth for this long. Here's to one more year.
