Have you seen this book,George Washington's Teeth
?
Fabulous!
It reads with short rhythmic sentences and
ends with timelines and photographs.
Poor Washington started losing teeth at age 22 and
a root fragment infection may be what lead to his death.
We learned that George had many sets of dentures...
most made out of Ivory (elephant, walrus, & hippo)
We didn't realize hippos had ivory.

Cool! We just finished reading about George. Those look very uncomfortable!
You should see the double set that is connected with gold spring wire. UGH
