  • Although we may not like to visit the dentist, oral health is an important thing to keep up. But even brushing, flossing, and getting a checkup aren't the only things that make a difference, where you live can too.

The article from MSN discusses a WalletHub study on dental health across the United States, focusing on New Mexico's ranking. New Mexico ranks 49th out of 50 states in overall dental health, indicating significant challenges in this area. The study evaluated states based on several factors including dental habits, oral health, and access to dental care. New Mexico scored particularly low in the number of dentists per capita and the percentage of adults who visited a dentist in the past year. The state also has a high rate of adults with poor or fair oral health conditions. This poor ranking highlights issues such as inadequate dental care infrastructure, lower dental hygiene practices, and possibly socio-economic factors affecting dental health in New Mexico.
