Maybe I just have a high pain tolerance? I've had my wisdom teeth out and 3 knee surgeries. I've never taken anything stronger than low dose ibuprofen (80mg). I think the navy gives you 500mg ibuprofen.

Yeah I haven't had many surgeries or anything like that so my body isn't use to it...

Yea, trust me I am the biggest baby with dental stuff. It freaks me out. But I have confidence that they aren't going to do anything to us without it being tried and true. We are at boot camp for a reason, to learn how to be sailors. If taking out wisdom teeth posed problems that compromised our training in a significant way, they wouldn't do it at bootcamp. We will all be fine! Haha

You're right that was reassuring, thanks!(:

lol I HATE the dentist - but trust me - I had several cavities filled and you get to be QUITE ecstatic about the opportunity to get out of the compartment and lower your chance of being IT'd, PT'd, cleaning, or some of the boring stuff you have to do.

My brother had his wisdom teeth pulled out while in boot camp and he was in bed for 2 days. It didn't hurt as much as he expected. If you tell the dentist that your wisdom tooth isn't bothering you, you might get the option of waiting til after boot camp. At least, that's what two of my friends said.
