    Sorry I don't have a URL, but my history teachers throughout the years and a lot of history books have said that George Washington had a lot of different sets of teeth: wooden, ivory, even hippopotomus! (I'm serious, I've been learning about it every year in American History.)

    Wooden teeth? If you assume it, it is 60% not true. O.K. That's not scientifically accurate, but I have my ways. Anyway, back to the point. He would probably have splinters in his gums so most likely no.

    I saw a show on discovery civilization ch. that his teeth were actually porcelain.
