Imagine a world where wooden dentures were an actual thing! Before the advent of modern dentistry, people used some rather inventive materials for false teeth. Among the most fascinating were dentures made from wood, commonly used in 18th-century Japan. These wooden prosthetics were crafted with meticulous care, often carved by hand to fit the wearer’s mouth. Amazingly, some were even lacquered to preserve the wood! It's a testament to human creativity and adaptability in the face of dental dilemmas. Next time you brush your teeth, be grateful for modern dental care! 🦷✨
