From the modern, to the historic; from the traditional, to the fanciful, the permanent collection at the National Museum of Dentistry is appropriately titled 32 Terrific Teeth. Interactive exhibitions, video displays, and intriguing text and graphics panels guarantee every visitor something he or she can sink his or her teeth into!

Among the highlights:

• George Washington’s not-so-wooden denture, created by New York Dentist John Greenwood
• A life-sized model of “Penny Wilson,” a renowned sideshow performer presenting her “iron-jaw” act.
• The world’s only Tooth Jukebox, playing vintage television commercials for dental products.
• Four silk-screened prints of Saint Apollonia, patron saint of dentistry, created by American art icon Andy Warhol.
• Queen Victoria’s gilded dental instruments, displayed with a photo of England’s longest reigning monarch with a rare smile
