WASHINGTON -- Attorney General Eric Holder is having emergency oral surgery to remove a tooth he cracked.
Holder spokesman Matthew Miller said the attorney general cracked the tooth Wednesday night and went to a dentist in pain Thursday morning. Miller said the dentist told Holder the tooth needed to be removed right away.
Miller said Holder won't be able to fly for several days and he canceled an afternoon trip to Colorado. He was scheduled to appear at the Aspen Institute for a discussion with CBS "Face the Nation" host Bob Schieffer.
Miller said he did not know how Holder got hurt or which tooth he cracked.
