I was wondering what the exam is like, spicificaly relitive to dental. If there is a problem that is corectable, what happens?

Any info would be great!

What kind of problem? It is hard to know what type of thing you are thinking of without some sort of background...

Dental problems? Just expect to be a few teeth less after it then......

Actually, if the problem is correctable they generally tend to correct it.

i know i have a wisdom tooth that needs to get pulled. There is no pain, and it is easy to pull a tooth, however I have know insurence to get it done.
Would the DQ me for that? My physical is sceduled for dec 10-13 and i dont go to OCS untill Jan 21.

Do they even check dental at this exam?
Thanks!

That is some heavily diluted jack, but with the wisdom teeth, get them removed in the civilian world before you go in. There's no point trying to be tough with a little tooth.

That's good advice. I got mine taken out before boot camp with a civilian doc and a general anesthesia. Nothing wrong with navy dentists, but they're only going to give you a local and I'm heard it's a pretty traumatic procedure.

Frankly, I'd be more concerned about your grammatical skills. Why don't you just tell us how screwed up your teeth are? I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

Let's just get this out of the way... Wisdom teeth are NOT disqualifying. If you've got other teeth issues, then that's something different.
