Tooth loss and smokeless tobacco use by state Adults who have had any permanent teeth removed because of tooth decay or gum disease, adults aged 65 and over who have lost all their natural teeth, and adults who currently use chewing tobacco, snuff or snus every day or some days. Percent of adults 18 and over (crude prevalence, self-reported) from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System; states only (CDC publishes a median of states rather than a national estimate in this dataset). Tennessee is not published in the 2024 BRFSS state estimates, so it is not shown.
