If you mean Washington, that's a myth. He had one remaining tooth at the time of his inauguration. During his lifetime he wore dentures made of human (some his own), cow, or hippopotamus teeth, ivory, or lead, but he never wore wooden teeth.
If you were on QI, the bells would be sounding about now.
Also, wasn't John Hanson the first president?
