Trenton, New Jersey - World's Largest Tooth

I think the directions may be a bit off. The sculpture park is located on Klockner Road, but the molar itself is on Sloan Avenue by the I-295 exit. If you are traveling south on I-295 and take Exit 65, you will immediately see the tooth on the left as you come off the exit ramp. Two life-sized pictures of a man and woman have been added to the site so you get a good perspective of how big this tooth is! [Ann Carden, 11/29/2008]

[RA: We'd heard the tooth had gone on tour, and now it's returned to a new location on Sloan Ave., about a mile northeast of its former spot on Klockner Road. It's new spot is next to a big parking lot, which makes it much easier to photograph. The two gawking statues are part of the art, and make a nice addition.]

Well I drove out to Trenton to take photos of the World's Largest Tooth. After driving around and around and not seeing it, I gave up. I remember seeing it from the train last year so I knew it was close to the tracks.

I emailed the Grounds for Sculpture people and found out that it was extracted for repairs (decay perhaps?) and is heading to Florida to take part in an exhibition. It will then travel for a bit (who knew how much fun a tooth could have) before coming back to New Jersey late next year. [Franck Fotos, 10/24/2007]
