(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump’s upcoming medical examination is intensifying health-related scrutiny that has surrounded him ever since his first campaign for the nation’s highest office more than a decade ago.

Trump on Tuesday is heading to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for his fourth publicly disclosed doctor’s appointment since the start of his second term. The White House has offered few details about the visit, saying it would involve “routine annual dental and medical assessments.”

Yet the nature of the May 11 announcement prompted more questions about Trump’s well-being. It will be his third known meeting with a dentist this year, more than the biannual checkups typical for most Americans, and follows three doctor’s visits last year. The moment also shines a spotlight on Trump’s age, as he turns 80 next month. It’s coming at a challenging political time for a president set on projecting vigor and strength.

The US is bogged down in an intractable conflict with Iran, which has wreaked havoc on the global economy. Trump is also grappling with resistance from congressional Republicans who face the prospect of defeat in the November midterm election in large part due to voters who have soured on his leadership.

I think dental-wise, "celebrities" go for "veneers", expensive ones which can supposedly last up to 15 years, and I expect since he is so vain and was in the biz, he is getting replacements (which explains why is "smiling" more).

Otherwise he's falling apart.

1. Dental implants are the more likely procedure for wealthy people.

Veneers tend to cost less than half as much as implants, which are also more permanent.

4. Unless he had something like that done when he was younger

doing it now at his current age, it could crack his jaw. And with his "public" schedule, he wouldn't have the sufficient time to heal from that.

9. Too bad they couldn't wire his jaws shut

Too bad not for recovery ressons, just generally.

10. I remember when Ann Coilter got her jaw wired shut

And DU went wild!

Ann Coulter's Jaw Wired Shut: Report

2. Maybe if they didn't keep falsely claiming he was having his umpteenth "annual physical" of the year

people would be less apt to scrutinize. Crazy, radical strategy to stop speculation: telling the truth.

This lot is congenitally unable to do that.

3. I feel sorry for the doctor...

who has to do a rectal exam on him. Lindsay Graham's nose will have to be removed first.

[Norrrm]

5. Lindsey's nose in the way of Trump's 17th exam - so far this year. Annual comes often.

6. Dental work could also be preparation for heart surgery.

12. Think about it. He will never need heart surgery.

7. There are some surgical procedures, mostly cardiac, that require pre-dental visits prior to surgery to

fix dental issues. My bet is he's been having multiple dental procedures because he's going to have surgery.

[Rob H.]

8. "He often closes his eyes for extended periods during Oval Office events."

He’s sleeping, MSN. Just say it: HE’S SLEEPING.

11. The usual "recharge"

[LudwigPastorius]

13. It's time for his triannual feces flush.

You know he's overflowingly full of shit when the old cankles start swelling.
