President Biden cleared his schedule Monday to undergo a two-day root canal after experiencing discomfort in his molar.
From the NY POST:
President Biden backed out of greeting college athletes and hosting NATO’s secretary-general Monday to complete a two-day root canal — after a report last month described tension within Biden’s inner circle over the ice cream-loving chief executive eating “like a child.”
Presidential physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor revealed that Biden, 80, had the first part of a root canal Sunday after “experiencing some dental pain in his lower right premolar” and that a second procedure would happen Monday.
“Our Presidential Dental Team from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center was able to perform an examination, to include x-rays, in the White House Dental Operatory. They determined that endodontic treatment (root canal) was most appropriate,” O’Connor wrote.
“Initial root canal procedure was performed at the time, with a plan for specialized endodontal follow up in the near future. The President tolerated the procedure well. There were no complications,” O’Connor added.
