My daughter accepted her appointment to USNA and just had her Panorex x-ray taken yesterday for the USNA Dental requirement. We were informed that it would be in her best interest to have her wisdom teeth removed. The bottom two teeth look to be impacted. I am sure that she is just like all the other appointees in that missing a week of school is not at the top of the list. She has all AP classes and is a key runner on the track team and the time off will be tough but I am assuming no where near as tough as missing a week at the Academy. Do we need to have the Panorex x-rays re-taken after her wisdom teeth are removed or should we go ahead and send in the films that were taken yesterday with a note that her wisdom teeth will be removed? Should we have the oral surgeon write a letter to the Academy after the extraction? Do we need to notify DODMERB as well? What is the exact procedure we should follow in the fun-filled wisdom teeth extraction process?
