28. I'm a dentist, ok?

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.
