Washington's teeth were not made out of wood, as was once commonly believed. They were made out of teeth from different kinds of animals, specifically elk, hippopotamus, and human.[20] One set of false teeth that he had weighed almost four ounces (110 g) and were made out of lead.

Not sure what kind of Wood but he also before had Teeth made of Whale Bone as well.
His Dentures did give him discomfort often.

"George Washington didn't cut down a cherry tree; he didn't wear a wig and he didn't have wooden teeth."

Im not really too sure, you should look up records on his dentist, you should find them in the carpenter's union record's in the area at the time.
