During the study, scientists managed to find out about the secret of George Washington, which was so carefully hidden from society. Experts said that George Washington had a wooden jaw. He was very worried about this.
The study of the personal diary of the famous politician allowed the experts to learn that George Washington suffered from dental diseases from the age of 24. From this age he became a regular visitor to the dental office. His teeth were gradually removed, which were first replaced with false teeth, and then completely had to be replaced with a wooden denture, which was skillfully made for him by dentist John Greenwood.
The doctor made a denture for Washington with teeth from elephant tusks and rhinoceros bones, in addition to this, the politician's once-lost teeth were inserted on a wooden base.
George Washington described his entire painful history and his feelings from it in his personal diary, which specialists are now studying. The President carefully concealed his dental problems. That is why, according to experts, he did not smile in portraits and photos.
