I want to say something about the "dental visit"...
First of all, I’m NOT SAYING that in fact he had a dental visit. Since I don’t believe a single word they say about anything at all whatsoever, my assumption was and is that something else was going on.
No, I’d like to address the faulty statements in the press which have been made about dentists offices, dental treatment, and dentists.
1. …that dentists don’t have offices open on Saturday afternoons, so he couldn’t be seen. Ridiculous- I have opened my office at all hours of the day and night for certain situations and/or certain patients. My neighbor dentist came in on a Sunday morning to see Mick Jagger, I opened on Christmas Day for a trauma victim whose front six teeth on his upper and eight on his lower were decimated by a freak accident, so if the President of the United States needs an appointment at a given time, the office will be opened. Period.
2. There’s a dental operatory in the White House. That’s nice… he wasn’t in DC and I’m gonna go one step further: none of us, but particularly the lay people have any idea what his intraoral configuration might be, and quite frankly, when an individual performs a dental reconstruction, he or she essentially “marries” the patient because there is a familiarity with all the elements of the case which are very detailed, highly variable, and complex at times. To give you an idea: I have done multiple reconstructions involving a full arch which must be removed and reseated in a certain way which we call heel-toe so that it fully seats over undercuts and different planes of insertion. It can be very tricky. Also, if half the bridge is loose, one is aided immensely by a familiarity of how to tap it out without fracturing the porcelain, so my long-winded point is that you can’t just wander into any dentist’s office necessarily and have an ideal outcome.
3. If implants are involved, the dentist must have on hand the instruments required to adjust, repair, and replace parts FOR THAT PARTICULAR BRAND OF IMPLANT. There are multiple screwdrivers, torque wrenches, fixation screws, hex abutments, and other parts specific to the brand.
4. Finally, there is the trust/competence issue in being able to handle complex cases. I have as an instructor in dentistry been amazed at some of my well-regarded colleagues’ inability to manage materials, instruments, fractured restorations, or even instruments. It is to some extent an acquired skill as well as an art form and many are not up to the task.
I have some theories as to his dental condition, based upon that which we have visualized but they are pure conjecture so I won’t proffer them here. Anything with him physically or dentally is conceivable but the point of my post is not to make a case for him but to state that those who are commenting upon cause and effect in dental medicine and dental reconstruction have virtually no idea of what they are talking about and no concept of what needs to occur clinically.
As an aside, he may have been having a problem with a subclavian port for his infusions or his heart pump battery….who TF knows? Not I. But I do know about dentistry and its practice.
I thank you for your attention in this matter.

He has had a recurrence of his unilateral eye droop again over the last week with considerable verbal gaffes and paraphasias once again and considerable ataxia and other gait abnormalities--maybe worsening, so my guess it was probably related to that.
But, all I can say with confidence is that they are lying about nearly everything relative to his health. 
Merely adding my own professional assessment.
I thought you were somewhat implying that I was making the case that it COULD have been. My mistake.
It's true that most of us don't know, despite our own personal episodes in a dentist's chair. I'm familiar with my own mouth and no one else's, so I can't even hazard a guess.
I believe that once Chump became a "reality TV star" it was a priority for him to have work done on his teeth. Before that I don't think his teeth were anything special because I've seen old photos of him and they weren't too impressive. Maybe the fame and notoriety of The Apprentice changed all that? Maybe that was when he got implants, or whatever. I don't know.
There are times when it seems like he might be wearing dentures because it sounds like something is affecting his speech. But who knows - it could be nothing to do with his teeth.
I believe you are correct that no dentist would have refused to open his/her office for a weekend emergency visit. That sounds really, really bogus, like they're covering up for something completely different. I'm so tired of hearing nothing but lies from the White House ever since Chump walked in the door.
