This fence (flipped 180 degees) reminded me that at one time wood was used to make dentures. Wooden dentures were invented in Japan around the early 16th century.
The story that George Washington had a set of wooden dentures though is a myth. Although, he did have a set carved from hippopotamus and elephant ivory, held together with gold springs!
I did not count the teeth visible in the photo but they are really numerous. Dont put your finger in his mouth :)

Macro Mondays theme this week is “Sweet or Savoury” and so I've ransacked my daughter's sweety bag she got after school and liberated some old school foam teeth.
HMM!
Close up of the scissor like teeth of our old sickle mower. These things move at lightning speed when it's in cutting mode and are known to take off fingers, hands and such if you're not super cautious. Freaks me out quite honestly.
So many species of Palm trees in Mexico. Each with its own characteristics and personalities, colors, grain and shapes. Social distancing has given me more time to discover and contemplate my own surroundings I suppose.
Black and white abstract shot of junior hacksaw teeth. Shot with strong background light and various tweaks to emphasise contrast. Interesting how the shape of the teeth means the white could just as easily be the shape of the blade, rather than the black.
Young Crocodile regulating his body temperature by holding his mouth open!
A crocodile’s armour-like skin has a delicate sense of touch that’s among the most acute in the animal kingdom.
The small, spotted bumps that cover the skin are full of nerve endings that make their hides even more sensitive than human fingertips to pressure and vibration.
These are especially good at detecting the vibrations caused by water ripples; something that may help the animals locate swimming prey.
The most sensitive areas were found near the face and teeth - likely helping the animals to identify and manipulate objects with their mouths: crucial for crocodile females who must delicately carry and protect hatchlings in their powerful jaws.

Ok, so everyone knows about Walrus tusks but this photo gives a view of its other teeth on both the upper and lower jaws. I don't recall ever seeing a photo of a wild Walrus where the teeth were visible. It is as if the dentist had just asked him to open wide. Walrus tusks are modified canine teeth that are possessed by both males and females. The rest of the teeth are variable in number, but usually they have about 18 including tusks, but as many as 38 have been recorded, which is more than humans (adult humans have 32). The teeth also erupt simultaneously and the root cones can expand in the growing jaw of a young Walrus, which means they have no need for extra "wisdom teeth" as they get larger. This mechanism of expanding root cones is apparently not known in any other mammal.
You can also see the muscular tongue, which is used for feeding. They seal their lips around bivalve molluscs such as clams, then rapidly withdraw their tongue like a piston, creating a vacuum strong enough to suck the contents out of the clam shells. The Walrus palate has a special vaulted structure to create this suction.
This wild Walrus was loafing in the shallows in north Spitsbergen in the Svalbard archipelago. And one final thing; that "scar" that looks like a bullet hole behind the eye is actually its ear hole. And they have a very good sense of hearing.

The front of the Avery steam engine states the teeth talk. It is surely a coincidence, but this particular engine is separated from the others at the Reunion in Mount Pleasant.

My youngest boy lost four teeth in the span of two hours yesterday. After lots of Halloween and Blair Witch jokes, I thought I'd shoot a fun spooky season photo. Here it is!
Beaver teeth turn orange from the iron content in the food they eat. The hard orange enamel covers a softer layer underneath that constantly chisels away while they chew, giving them a permanent sharp edge. When they are very young their teeth are whiter.
