Discover the power of a healthy smile through engaging interactive exhibitions for all ages!

An Affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, the National Museum of Dentistry is renowned for its collection of dental-related treasures from the legendary to the whimsical, from George Washington’s not-so-wooden teeth to cartoon toothbrushes featuring Fred Flintstone and Mickey Mouse. Sing along to vintage toothpaste commercials and see how a visit to the dentist has changed for the better. Young children can discover good oral health habits in the hands-on MouthPower laboratory, and science-based exhibits explore the wonderful world of saliva, the secrets of forensics, and the future of dentistry through bioengineering.
