Donald Trump Keeps Going To The Dentist & People Are Suspicious About What It Means

trump is hiding the true extent of his health problems.



https://littlethings.com/entertainment/donald-trump-dentist-concerns

President Donald Trump has been going to the dentist quite a bit lately, and people are starting to get suspicious. Sure, going to multiple dentist appointments within a short period of time isn’t unheard of. But given that Trump is approaching 80 and people have been speculating about his health for some time now, the unexplained dentist appointments seem especially odd.

Besides, Trump has not been going to the on-site dental clinic at the White House, for some unknown reason. Instead, he has visited a dentist in Florida, which makes the whole situation even weirder.

This particular appointment is for his annual dental and medical evaluation at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, HuffPost reported. What makes it weird is that Trump has already been to the dentist two other times this year, and one of those visits was just a couple of weeks ago.

According to the publication, he also visited the dentist in January of this year. Both of those appointments were in Florida, and the White House said they were “scheduled.” It’s unclear what, exactly, these “routine” appointments were for. And, again, the fact that Trump didn’t visit the White House’s on-site dental clinic is unusual. Per The Independent, Former President Joe Biden went to the White House’s clinic for a root canal (and we all know how much Trump loves being compared to Biden).



Of course, this is mere speculation. But given that people have noticed Trump’s bruised hands, swollen ankles, and his tendency to fall asleep during meetings, among other concerns, a lot of people suspect that something else could be going on.

I go to the dentist a few times a year for a cleaning.
I do have a favorite dentist and see nothing bizarre about him preferring to see his regular dentist.
He may need some work done - again not extraordinary for someone his age.

My wife and I see my dentist at least three times a year for cleanings (they'd prefer four); more often if there are problems, but I've been blessed with good teeth. My wife, on the other hand, grew up in a Bircher house, so no fluoride for her.

I've been going to the same dentist for 25 years, even though I moved 1000 miles away 15 years ago and sold that house four.

I've had bad gums for years (inherited from my mom). No matter how much I brush and floss, I still get plaque build up below the gumline pretty bad. I tend to get at least three cleanings a year, with one often being a deep cleaning.

(I also had gum surgery about half a dozen years back)

Crack easier than normal teeth. Most of my teeth are gone due to cracks.
When I was younger I had braces got eight teeth removed in 1 day in preparations for getting the braces. The dentist I had for braces was an asshole. He would tighten my braces so hard I held back tears .I have a groove going across my front teeth. Now I have a very very deep bite and my jaw is crooked. From teeth problems. I still hope I can get implants one day It would make it easier to eat, and they can be used to straighten my jaw. It’s a dream.

Just two weeks ago? I can see annual exams but he had a scheduled dentist appointment two weeks ago. Considering he lies when his mouth is open, you can understand why folks would be skeptical, yes? I am nowhere in my 80s but I have never had scheduled dental appointments a couple of weeks apart.

Junior was an old guy too so a doctor appointment would seem normal. "He often used these visits to secretly conduct mob business because the FBI could not legally bug or wiretap private medical offices"

Dr. Douglas Schreck: A cardiologist who let Junior and Tony use his medical office for mafia meetings under the guise of heart checkups.(Wikipedia)



Crime families... they're all the same.

This speculation is utterly ridiculous. I’m not defending the man, but I have a vast experience treating geriatric patients, particularly dental post-reconstructive patients, and he clearly has had multiple reconstructions performed upon him. All kinds of things can go wrong, the teeth don’t read the books so they don’t know that they’re supposed to be better and you can have a flareup.

I’ve had situations where I’ve seen the patient 3-4 times in a week to get matters under control. I am absolutely not saying that is what is going on here, but the idea that multiple visits to the dentist are extremely rare is ridiculous and what’s more, the notion that he can get the kind of care which he might require in the White House dental office as opposed to that which he might receive in a prosthodontist’s Office is patently absurd. And please don’t tell me what you “think”, I do this for a living.
