Actually, not completely true. Ironically, his actual dentures are enshrined in a display case at Mt. Vernon even today.

you mean slave teeth, big reason the libs want to cancel George.

Deep within one of Washington’s account books is an entry which details Washington’s purchase of nine teeth from “Negroes” for 122 shillings. Whether the teeth provided by the Mount Vernon enslaved persons were simply being sold to dentist Dr. Jean-Pierre Le Mayeur or whether they were intended for George Washington, is unknown at this time.
