Report: President Biden Absent From White House Event Due To Multi-day Procedure

President Joe Biden will be absent from a White House event due to a multi-day root canal procedure, the White House announced Monday.

Biden underwent the first stage of the procedure on Sunday, according to a White House memo from Dr. Kevin O'Connor, the presidential physician.

The memo clarified that Biden was experiencing “further discomfort” on Monday morning, and is scheduled to undergo the second part of the procedure later in the day, according to Fox News.

“The President identified that he was experiencing some dental pain in his lower right premolar,” the White House wrote in a memo. “Our Presidential Dental Team from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center… determined that endodontic treatment (root canal) was most appropriate.”

“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,” the memo continued.

Biden had been scheduled to host a College Athlete Day celebration at the White House on Monday which features the men's and women's NCAA championship teams from the 2022-2023 season.

The procedure comes nearly two weeks after President Biden fell on stage during the Air Force Academy's commencement ceremony.
