President Joe Biden will undergo a dental root canal at the White House on Monday, his doctor said, prompting officials to abruptly shuffle the president's planned schedule.
Joe Biden's physician Kevin C. O'Connor said in a statement that the president -- at 80 the oldest person ever in the office -- was "experiencing further discomfort" from a partially treated premolar tooth in his lower right jaw.
The White House press office said Joe Biden will "undergo a root canal this morning at the White House."
The press office said Joe Biden "will not be put under anesthesia and the 25th amendment will not be invoked," meaning he will remain conscious and able to perform his duties, without having to give temporary presidential powers to Vice President Kamala Harris.
