Some of the best fun in boot was watching your shipmates coming back from medical/dental high as a kite from the meds and trying not to screw up around the RDCs. We had one guy that was pretty much a constant verbal stream of what was going through his head, which pretty much amounted to "Oh F, F F F F F F F I made eye contact with chief...is he going to drop me now? My face feels funny. That female needs to wash her hair. Am I drooling?" etc etc

Alot of my division, me included, didnt need to have our wisdom teeth pulled. Lucky us. One guy did get something like 7 root canals though...

I was the only one in my div that didn't get their wisdom teeth taken out, but they told me they would have to spend more time than a typical removal so they had me wait. Still haven't gotten them out...

No laughing gas or anesthesia? I figure I will need something like 8 root canals & 6 teeth pulled. I'm not a huge fan of dentist pain.

It depends on each persons specific dental needs. But they generally just do the shots.

So theres a small chance I may get more than the shots, but dont count on it. I will try & get as much dental work done now. Thank you.

Keep in mind, if any of your dental work includes anesthesia it becomes a surgery and you have to report it to meps
