G Washingtons teethGeorge Washington had fake teeth, but it was not all made out of wood. His teeth were a combination of wood and ivory.
George Washington's false teeth were primarily made from a variety of materials, including ivory, human teeth, and animal teeth, particularly from horses and cows. Contrary to popular myth, they were not made of wood. His dental issues led him to use these materials in attempts to create functional dentures, but they were often uncomfortable and did not fit well.
George Washington owned at least one set of false teeth. You used to hear that they were made of wood, but I think they are made of ivory and animal teeth. There used to be a set displayed in the Smithsonian. I think they were stolen but maybe returned.

if people could afford it they wold have animal teeth, other human teeth from people who were already dead, or ocassionally wood
Before porcelain, false teeth were made from materials like ivory, animal teeth, and human teeth obtained from donors or graveyards. Other materials used included wood, bone, and metal.
It is possible. The common story is that Washington's teeth were carved from wood, but this is not the case. They were constructed using human teeth, cow teeth, and the ivory from elephants and walruses. Unfortunately, the records of where the materials were acquired have been lost to history. The only evidence that the human teeth belonged to slaves comes from a brief notation in his ledger, so the speculation that his dentures included the teeth of his slaves is not an uneducated guess.
