You may never look at your toothbrush the same way again after visiting the National Museum of Dentistry, home to one of the largest collections of dental artifacts in the world—including George Washington’s famous (but not wooden) dentures. This Smithsonian-affiliated museum dives deep into the evolution of oral care, from ancient tools to futuristic dental innovations.

Located on the historic grounds of the first dental school in the world, the museum brings the history of dentistry to life with interactive exhibits, pop culture memorabilia, and fascinating displays on how oral health has shaped society. Whether you’re a history buff, a science enthusiast, or just someone who dreads the dentist, National Museum of Dentistry offers a surprisingly fun and educational experience.
