President's dentist?

[Kahr]

Just out of idle curiosity, anyone know who is responsible for the president's dental work (and his family as well I'd assume)? I'm asking here because I would suspect it to be a military dentist.

i think President Bush had a Navy dentist that treated him out of Walter Reed.

we had a former Army Dental Corp Chief talk to our AEGD residents last year. i seem to remember him mentioning a highly secure clinic at Walter Reed where the Presidents went for dental care, and they were seen by a Navy dentist.

NNMC Bethesda has an entire floor of a wing dedicated to the President's care. His dental care is provided by an O-6 comprehensive dentist with referrals as necessary.

We can sleep in tents for longer, do land nav better, shower less, and eat worse meals. Wait---is there any benefit to being an Army dentist! Ah yes, we get to deal with Angry Tankers with cool strapy boots!

The Head of the Clinics at UF, Dr. Robinson retired the Navy recently and worked on two Presidents as an o-6. He is a great guy!
