Lubbock, Tx; Philadephia, Pa; Spokane, Wa; Salt Lake City, Ut; Jackson, Ms, El Paso, Tx, and Portland, Or actually earned an F. And not much better, Tulsa, Ok and Dallas earned a D-. On the other end of the spectrum, Atlanta, Ga got a B-, Cleveland, Oh earned a B, and Raleigh, NC, Nashville, Tn, and Madison, Wi all scored an A+. The city with the most people who visited the dentist last year was St. Paul, Mn, and flossing seems to be all the rage in Freemont and San Jose, Ca.
