Original Note:
Washington certainly suffered from dental problems and wore multiple sets of dentures composed of a variety of materials—including ivory, gold, lead, and human teeth—wood was never used in Washington's dentures nor was it commonly employed by dentists in his era. https://www.mountvernon.org/library/digitalhistory/digital-encyclopedia/article/wooden-teeth-myth/
