According to the Gallup Healthways Well Being Index, three in four Massachusetts residents say they visited a dentist within the last 12 months, a higher rate than any other state in the nation. Mississippi, Louisiana, and West Virginia residents visit the dentist the least. Gallup asked 177, 000 adults aged 18 and older between January through June 2011, and nationally 65% of American adults say visited a dentist during the last 12 months.

So here’s a rhetorical question? If the states of Massachusetts and Connecticut have the most dental visits; theoretically, they should also have the lowest unemployment for hygienists’ right?
