Remember ... No Teeth!

Did George Washington have wooden dentures?

That is actually a myth. According to historians, Washington had major problems with his teeth and gums, but his first set of dentures were made from a combination of ivory and human teeth. Washington lost most of his teeth by the age of 50. At one time, people thought losing teeth was an inevitable part of the ageing process. Today we know better. With proper care, your teeth will last a lifetime.
