This 19-foot-tall Tooth in Hamilton Township was created by J. Seward Johnson in 1980. It was installed in Florida in the 1980s. It was moved here around 1998. The aluminum sculpture is entitled "Comprehension". It includes two perplexed senior citizens reacting to the tooth. It is part of the permanent collection of Grounds for Sculpture. These photos are from 2012. Many of Seward's sculptures are loaned to other cities for several years and then returned here. These photos are from 2012. From 2017-2018, the Tooth and puzzled people were moved to the Sportsplex in Crown Point, NJ. I don't know where they went after that.

By 2020, the Tooth had been given away.

The Teeth in Marshall were not all that giant but I'll include them anyway. There were two teeth in the display windows and two others with the sign above this dentist office. By 2023, the dentist and the teeth were gone.
