George Washington Did Not Have Wooden Teeth
We all must have learnt about President George Washington and how he lost the battle when it came to oral hygiene and dental issues. Our books claim that he had only one natural tooth by 1789 and that the rest of his teeth were made out of wood.
However, the truth is far more disturbing since a lot of strange things went into the making of George Washington’s denture. These things included lead, gold, and ivory, however some people suspect that some of his teeth weren’t even human and that he actually had cows and sheep’s teeth as well.
