I assume saves time and work to just pull them.. Next time I get ahold of him I'll ask!

Does anyone know what type of fillings the Navy gives you at RTC? Are they metal or white composite material?

They filled mine with composite

Might depend on which tooth and where at on that certain tooth, to determine what they use to fill it.

Interesting... so one sailor got metal and another got composite. Wonder if they've switched over to composite or if, like Debo15 suggested, they just base it on where the cavity is located? Either way, thanks for the insight.

haha I was 15 when I had my two bottom wisdom teeth out and I had the shots only. No laughing gas and was not knocked out. I was awake for EVERYTHING. I remember the dentist putting a small hand tool in my tooth and putting his foot on the chair to twist it out. All the popping and cracking. Most painful thing in my life. I went through about 20 shots and still could feel what they were doing. I'm not trying to scare you, it's just really what happened to me. I am going to boot soon and probably have to get my 2 wisdom teeth on the top out so I'm going to be going through it again... Yesssss.
