I thought they were wooden teeth.
why the hell would they make them out of hippo bone?
ivory was FAR more plentiful and durable.

I don't think so
he expressed most of his hippo loathing by daubing 'all hippos are a bunch of smelly bastards' on the back of the Declaration of Independence

Wooden false teeth last about a week
before they turn green and slimy.
Ivory teeth last longer but eventually get things growing in them.
