Boring.  Okay, the kids' section is pretty nice but this is hella boring.   Take someone here if you want to talk them out of visiting the dentist or becoming one.

This small quirky museum is a very enjoyable if bizarre way to explore the history of denistry. The biggest draw is George Washington's dentures (are they really made of wood? You'll have to visit to find out for yourself), but the museum is chock full of all sorts of teeth related information. They have old dental chairs, and implements and they even have the first tooth brush to travel to space. When I visited they also had a exhibition on the virtues of saliva. Strange? Yes, but also very fun. The museum definately has a sense of humor and dental puns abound (like the use of plaques...get it?). I would defiantely recommend a visit and the museum is walking distance to both Poe's grave and Lexington Market. The only bad thing is that the musuem is so small.
