President Biden will miss a White House event due to a two-day root canal procedure, with Vice President Harris attending instead, the White House said.
"The President identified that he was experiencing some dental pain in his lower right premolar," the White House wrote in a memo. "Our Presidential Dental Team form Walter Reed National Military Medical Center… determined that endodontic treatment (root canal) was most appropriate."

"Initial root canal procedure was performed at the time, with a plan for specialized endodontal follow up in the near future. The president tolerated the procedure well. There were no complications," the memo continued.
