First Place:
In Kentucky’s Teeth, Toll of Poverty and Neglect
In Kentucky bootleg denture-makers exist here for a reason: Kentucky has the highest
proportion of adults under 65 without teeth and about half of the residents lack
dental insurance. “People need teeth, but they can’t afford to go to dentists for
dentures,” said one bootlegger who has seen the shame of a 14-year-old girl who
would not lift her head because she had lost most of her teeth from malnutrition,
and the do-it-yourself pride of an elderly mountain man who, unable to afford a
dentist, pulled his own infected teeth with a pair of pliers.
