White House doctor FINALLY gives an update on Biden’s health — revealing he had a root canal: Kamala had to step in during his procedure as president to receive NCAA champions
- President Joe Biden had a root canal treatment Sunday that was completed Monday
- The 80-year-old suffered from a toothache and the procedures were performed on the White House campus
- The proceedings forced Biden to forgo Monday afternoon’s headlining event featuring NCAA athletes
President Joe Biden had a root canal Sunday that was completed Monday, forcing him to forego hosting an event involving NCAA athletes.
White House physician Kevin O’Connor wrote in a letter Monday morning that Biden, 80, had a toothache on Sunday and it was decided that he should have a root canal performed by Walter Reed’s team at the white man’s dental office house was carried out.
“He’s feeling more discomfort this morning, which was to be expected,” the doctor said on Monday. “Walter Reed’s endodontic specialty team will be completing the President’s root canal at the White House today.”
Immediately after the White House sent out the medical certificate, the schedule changed to show that Vice President Kamala Harris would headline the event with the winning athletes in place of the President.
The College Athlete Day event brings together champions from volleyball, ice hockey, track and field and other sporting events.

The White House doctor, Dr. Kevin O’Connor sent a letter Monday morning saying the President is receiving part two of a root canal
The second Mr. Doug Emhoff is also expected to be present.
The President previously hosted the women’s basketball champions, Louisiana State University, and the men’s basketball champions, the University of Connecticut.
As the race to 2024 heats up, questions continue to be raised about Biden’s health as he is the oldest man to ever serve as president.
Earlier this month, Biden tripped and fell during a graduation ceremony at the US Air Force Academy in Colorado.
“I was put in a punching bag,” he later joked, because that was the item on the floor that was giving him trouble.
Former President Donald Trump, Biden’s leading Republican rival, mocked the 80-year-old for stumbling.
“Did he actually fall? “Well, I hope he wasn’t hurt,” Trump said in Iowa.
“You have to be careful about that,” the former president continued, although “you have to tiptoe down a ramp,” he added, poking fun at himself for a moment that went viral in June 2020.
Trump’s slow walk down a ramp at West Point raised questions about his health as he campaigned against Biden for re-election.
Biden has also stumbled up the steps of Air Force One several times and fallen off his bike during a trip to Rehoboth Beach last June.
On top of that, you’re prone to faux pas.
In February, the White House released the results of Biden’s second in-office physical.
O’Connor said Biden was “healthy” and “vigorous” and the main notable difference was a lesion on his chest that was sent for cancer screening.
In March, O’Connor said the lesion was basal cell carcinoma, a common and harmless form of skin cancer.
Biden does not require any follow-up care after the lesion is removed, the doctor said.
