Q: Did George Washington have wooden teeth?
A: He had several sets of false teeth over the years, but they were not made of wood. For at least one set, Washington's dentist, Dr. John Greenwood, used a cow's tooth, one of Washington's teeth, hippopotamus ivory, metal and springs. The teeth fit poorly. (courtesy Mount Vernon) Link here to a photograph of a set of Washington's dentures. (courtesy of the Smithsonian Institution)

No, he did not have wooden teeth. His dentures were made of the ussual material of the day. One historian wrote that his teeth were made of bone. I don't know if he smoked pot or not. Maybe that's what got him through that long winter in Valley Forge.

No they were made of ivory and gold. It's a legend that they were made out of wood.
