A medical expert has raised fresh concerns after US President Donald Trump made an unexpected visit to a dentist in Florida, prompting questions about the transparency surrounding his health.

Dr Jonathan Reiner, a former White House physician, questioned on X why Trump would travel off-site for dental care when the White House has had its own dental facilities since the Hoover administration, noting that President Biden had a root canal performed there.

According toa White House reporter, Trump, 79, made an off-schedule trip for dental care over the weekend following a public speech and a morning of golf. The visit was not publicly detailed in advance, and limited information was provided afterwards, fuelling speculation about the reason behind the appointment.

The unusual nature of the visit drew scrutiny from Reiner, who questioned why such care would require an external trip. He pointed out that the White House is equipped with its own dental facilities, suggesting that routine procedures could typically be handled on-site.

'The White House has had a dental operatory since the Hoover Admin. Routine dental exams can be done in the WH,' Reinerwrote on X.

In a separate post, Reiner noted that this is not the first time Trump has chosen to visit the dentist in Florida.

'There's been such lack of candor about the health of the president that even a visit to the dentist raises questions. The WH has a dental operatory (Pres Biden had a root canal there) so why a Sat morning visit in Florida? Maybe he just likes this dentist,' he wrote.

Reiner's remarks come amid growing attention to Trump's health and the level of disclosure provided to the public. The president has not had a widely publicisedfull medical evaluationsince April 2025, despite calls for regular updates given his age and the demands of office.
