President Biden was “doing just fine” after a root canal on Monday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, describing him as being back at work in the residence after the surgery.
White House physician Kevin O’Connor said in a memo that Biden had a toothache on Sunday on the lower right-hand side of his mouth — tooth 29, to be exact.
There’s a dental office in the basement of the White House, and that’s where a team from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center took X-rays and determined that a root canal was in order. Initial steps were done that day, and Biden “tolerated the procedure well,” O’Connor said.
