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.
The myth is ancient Greek.
No, George Washington did not wear wooden teeth. While he did suffer from dental issues and had several dentures made from various materials, including ivory and human teeth, there is no evidence that he ever used wooden teeth. The myth likely arose from the poor condition of his actual teeth and the appearance of his dentures.
