A woman's pretty smile is money in the bank


"Women who resided in communities with fluoridated water during childhood earn approximately 4 percent more than women who did not, but [there is] no effect of fluoridation for men."

That's from "The Economic Value of Teeth" (NBER Working Paper No. 13879), by Sherry Glied and Matthew Neidell.
