Does anybody know if it is required or recommended or even relevant to have wisdom teeth removed before reporting? I say this as I write a check to a dental surgeon we were referred to by our son's dentist who referred us because his son is a Plebe at USNA and he was required to have his removed. I also say this as we have another son who graduates USMMA next month who was required to have his removed prior to reporting 4 years ago. I expect we will soon get a packet from USNA that might even address this, but if anybody knows anything about this please let me know. I don't get the Service Academy's hang up on wisdom teeth. I guess I do for the merchant marines who can be in the middle of the ocean and days away from any medical relief, but not sure about USNA. Thanks.
