Denture Facts
  • Not long ago, dentures were common wedding gifts in the British Isles because many people expected to eventually lose all of their teeth and expedited the process by having them extracted at an early age
  • In Vermont, it is illegal for women to wear false teeth without written permission of their husband
  • The first set of false teeth were discovered in the 8th century BC
  • George Washington, the first president of our country, had several dentures made of hippopotamus, cow, walrus teeth, and elephant's tusks.
