Wonderful. I would smile, but it hurts.
The packet that my son received mentioned that having your wisdom teeth out is the single most reason why academics are missed. I made an appointment for my son to have his out during school vacation in April. The packet also says that if you are going to get them out, have them out at least 6 weeks before reporting to I Day. The oral surgeon also mentioned to me that 17 is usually a good age because the roots have not grown too much yet. He told me my son was at the perfect age to have them out.Because we're on the subject of teeth, is it okay for me to take out my wisdom teeth? When my brother went to West Point, they actually asked him to take it out before BCT because there was a possibility that it may interfere with physical activity. Is this the same with USAFA?
sportsmom is correct. The Instructions to Appointees handbook recommends getting your wisdom teeth taken out before I Day. I wish I could get them out however they haven't even erupted for me (I have really slow growing teeth- even still have one baby tooth that I'm getting pulled soon).
I fell while ice skating on Friday night; I broke the bottom 1/3 of two of my teeth. I am going in for crowns this week. Is this disqualifying?
