*George Washington, the first president of the United States, was Dr. Greenwood’s most famous patient. President Washington had several sets of dentures made after he lost teeth. He suffered from toothaches all of his life, and his famous quick temper may have been result of this pain. By the time of his inauguration in 1790, Washington had only one tooth, his lower left bicuspid. A hole in his lower denture allowed this natural tooth to stick out. The dentures were made out of ivory, not wood.
