Did Washington ever obtain teeth from enslaved people that he owned?

Washington’s financial records document the payment of cash for nine teeth from unidentified “Negroes” in May 1784. This transaction has been widely interpreted as providing teeth for Washington’s own use, for either dentures or transplantation. An understanding of 18th-century accounting practices points to these particular teeth becoming the property of the dentist Jean Pierre Le Mayeur. It is possible that teeth obtained from enslaved people could have been used in making dentures for Washington at another time.
