    The White House has its own dental suite, so it’s unclear why Trump would schedule appointments elsewhere.

    President Donald Trump will visit Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on May 26 for his annual dental and medical evaluation ― the third time he’s been to a dentist this year, and the second time just this month.

    Goddamn. Does no one remember this guy

    Or this guy

    Or this fuckin guy

    Trump’s statements on his health in general, (notably nothing on his family history of dementia) has always been bullshit. Always. You people thinking “well maybe he’s telling the truth because dentist” are freaking me out.

    People with dementia often have trouble with grooming habits. Like brushing teeth. Showering. Trimming nails. Wearing deodorant . Shaving. Etc.

    They just forget.

    Bet he’s getting dental problems due to his dementia.

    There are so many reasons someone might have to go see a dentist. As much as I like to trash on Trump, this is a non-story.

    ETA: Never mind, it’s pretty clear that this is a smoke screen for something else going on.

    Trump’s lately been boasting about the number of cognitive tests his doctors ask him to complete. The test, called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), is intended to suss out dementia-linked cognitive decline.

    “I’ve taken three,” Trump boasted earlier this month, two days after the first of his two unscheduled-but-scheduled offsite dentist appointments in Palm Beach. “No president, think of this, has ever taken one.”

    I’ve said for years that the fact that he keeps bragging about his high performance on his cognitive tests is, itself, a sign. Yes, Donnie, there’s a reason why they give you so many, and it’s not because of your Big Brain…

      Yeah, the quiet part of his bragging is that they don’t ask you to do those tests unless they suspect you have dementia. The tests are a diagnostic tool, not a prophylactic.

      It’s like saying “nah I’m not worried about cancer! My doctor keeps asking me to come in for more imaging tests. I had four MRI scans this month already, so I know I’m fine!” Why do you think those imaging tests were ordered? It’s not because your doctor thought you were healthy.

      The Island Dentist Room: Medical Facility on Little St. James

      Could it be used to alter dental records as part of an effort to subvert identification methods on people?

        A hammer can be used for many things:

        1. Hammer a nail.

        2. Open a jar of pickles.

        3. Threaten someone.
