George Washington's Teeth

Did you know George Washington had bad teeth? He had rotten teeth and lost them in war, at dinner, and even while trying to disguise his bad smile. We read the book, George Washington's Teeth and created a chart of details describing his teeth from the text.




 


Next, we used the details from the text to create our very own George portraits.








 
Tomorrow we will start writing a silly informational piece on George Washington's teeth. Check back with us soon to see the finished product!

  5. Matthew says it is important to brush your teeth because if you don't brush regularly, your teeth might rot and it might make you sick.

  6. Matthew and I did some more research about healthy teeth. He learned that chewing sugarless gum, eating apples, carrots, celery, yogurt, and cheese also support healthy teeth. He learned that drinking too carbonated soft drinks, even the diet variety, and eating too much sugary candy and gum is not good for your teeth.

  8. Molly says you have to brush your teeth because you don't want your teeth to be dirty. Dirty teeth can get cavities that have to be drilled out by the dentist. Candy and coffee can make your teeth yellow. George Washington had wooden teeth.
