WalletHub recently released its annual report ranking the States with the Best & Worst Dental Health, comparing all 50 states across 25 key indicators. These factors fall into two main categories: Dental Habits & Care and Oral Health – everything from how often people see a dentist to rates of oral pain and overall dental wellness. Why Illinois Earned The Top Oral Health RankingThat’s right – the Land of Lincoln earned the #1 ranking in the entire country for Oral Health, along with an impressive #8 ranking for Dental Habits & Care. Residents report lower rates of mouth-related pain and sleep issues, and fewer people rate their oral health as poor or fair. Niche ranks places to live based on a variety of factors including cost of living, schools, health care, recreation, and weather.
