General Discussion

Based upon my experience, the photos of his dentition which I discussed in previous posts, it is possible that he requires procedure(s) which are not performable in the White House. This is not an oil change on a car, and it is entirely possible that he requires a periodontal surgical suite setup which MAY not be doable at the White House. There are issues which would make the procedure more reliably successful which may be particular to a specialty suite.

People classify Significant dentistry as fillings, crowns, and cleanings, and believe me there are many many things which far transcend them. Suppose he has a significantly involved implant which has to be removed. Trepidation, particularly of the upper arch is potentially risky due to possible sinus perforation. If I’m doing this on the President of the United States, no matter who he happens to be, I want to be in my familiar quarters but ONLY IF IT IS OK WITH THE MEDIA AND BLOGGERS.

In other words, don’t you tell me where I have to do complex surgical procedures, I’ll tell you.

People who attempt to comment critically upon dental issues have absolutely no idea of what they’re talking about unless they’re full educated either academically or as a matter of experience assisting the doctor.

No. Concept.

None.

And I don’t care what you’ve gone through or what you think your dentist is doing in his or her office.

Just for example, I can partake in an hour-long argument with another dentist as to the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing wooden vs plastic wedges when placing amalgam or composite restorations.
