Biden will not go under general anesthesia and as such, the 25th Amendment will not be invoked and the president will remain in charge, the White House said.

He discovered on Sunday that he was “experiencing some tooth pain in his lower right premolar,” O’Connor wrote, and a dental team from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center came to the White House and performed an initial procedure.

There were no complications and O’Connor reported that Biden “tolerated the procedure well”.

Then, on Monday morning, Biden experienced “further discomfort … which was expected,” O’Connor said.

“Walter Reed’s endodontic team will complete the president’s root canal day at the White House,” the doctor wrote.

Biden would receive NCAA champions from the 2022-2023 season with Second Mr. Doug Emhoff on the South Lawn of the White House.

Vice President Kamala Harris took Biden’s place at the event.

Biden last month welcomed the LSU Tiger women’s basketball team and the UConn Huskie men’s basketball team to honor their national titles.

In 2008 it is was reported Biden got the call that he was Barack Obama’s vice president’s pick while he was in a dental office while Jill Biden was undergoing a root canal.

The other events on Biden’s schedule for Monday, including a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and a Chiefs of Mission reception, were postponed to Tuesday.
