The glasses and cavities will probably get taken care of in pdays when everyone goes, you might take a little longer than most but there's nothing else you're missing by being gone.

For wisdom teeth, there's a certain day (I think it was 1-4) when everyone who needs the extraction and doesn't have any complications will get them out. They all get a day or two of SIQ. This amounts to probably half the division, so there's nothing else going on, you won't miss much.

If your wisdom teeth give you no problems (like mine) you may not need to have them taken out. Or if it's a complicated procedure, they'll probably put it off until you're on hold at A school and then give you several days SIQ (my roommate got 4 days SIQ, but half of it was the weekend).

Except for specific days like Marlinspike or Live Fire, most of bootcamp is just practicing inspections, folding, cleaning and studying. Missing one morning isn't going to hurt, because you'll still have 10 more opportunities or more.
