Hawaii was ranked as the state with the best dental health, earning a dental score of 86.78 out of 100, according to a Nov. 29 report from OnFocus.
The rankings were created by Doctors Implants, a dental practice with locations in Texas, South Carolina and Oklahoma.
The practice used three main categories to rank each state: the percentage of residents with good mouth and teeth conditions, the percentage of adults who visited the dentist, and the number of dentists per 10,000 residents. The statistics were used to give each state a dental health score.
