Oh no! Miami makes the ‘14 worst-teeth cities’ list!

What makes for a beautiful smile? Drs. Lelchuk, Hirschl and Ressler will tell you regular dental visits, brushing and flossing, minimizing your intake of soda and coffee and not smoking, among other factors, will maximize your chances of achieving great oral health. Our friends at TotalBeauty in 2009 released their list of the “14 Worst-Teeth Cities,” and our team at Ressler Hirschl and Lelchuk DDS is sad to report Miami was chosen among the fourteen.

Here’s an excerpt from the article: "Florida residents love their coffee and wine, and that puts them on this list. They are no. 2 in coffee consumption and also imbibe an average of 4.09 gallons of wine a year per person* (the U.S. average is 3.02 gallons annually). That plus hard water and a rank of no. 37 in dental visits means there are some seriously stained teeth in Miami."

Have you been perfecting your smile by visiting Ressler Hirschl and Lelchuk DDS every six months? If not, it’s time to schedule an appointment! And don’t forget the old dental saying: “Be true to your teeth or they’ll be false to you!”
