President Donald Trump is scheduled to undergo a dental exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center later this month, marking his third visit to the dentist this year.
He went to see a local dentist in Florida in January and had another dental appointment in Florida earlier this month.
But President Trump actually has another dentist he can visit, just a short walk from the Oval Office.
Here’s what you need to know about the White House Dental Clinic.
Is there a dentist in the White House?
The White House added a dental clinic during President Herbert Hoover’s presidency in the 1930s, allowing presidents to receive “quick and private” dental care.
The White House dental clinic is located in the basement of the building and reportedly features “state-of-the-art equipment and a fully functional operating room.”
The dental facility exists as part of the White House Medical Command, a 24/7 military unit responsible for the health and safety of the President, Vice President, their families, and White House staff.
In 2024, former President Joe Biden used this dental clinic when he underwent root canal treatment at the White House.
The White House has not said why President Trump did not choose the White House for dental treatment.
“There’s been such a lack of candor about the president’s health that even a visit to the dentist raises questions,” Jonathan Reiner, a cardiologist who was former Vice President Dick Cheney’s doctor, told the X show. “Why would he visit Florida on a Saturday morning when WH has a dental surgery facility (President Biden had root canal treatment there)? Maybe he just likes this dentist.”
