A new study of dental health among all 50 states has put Arkansas in the absolute bottom. The study, by Wallethub, says various factors went into the study, including water fluoridation and access to dental professionals. The study used 25 key indicators to develop two different rankings. Arkansas’ oral health ranking was 50th, while the ranking for dental habits and care was 42nd. Overall, CDC figures showed 36% of all adults nationally have gone over a year without seeing a dentist.
