My son has received a Conditional Appointment to the US Merchant Marine Academy! He has one remedial item on his DoDMERB exam. He has to get a repeat urinalysis due to protein in his urine. He will be doing this next Monday (after 3 days without wrestling practice and no tournaments this weekend).
Now for the problem... During a wrestling match last month (after his DodMERB exam) he shattered both his front teeth including the roots. They had to be removed. He is now wearing a ‘flipper’ (a retainer with false teeth). They need to wait another month, then they can start the process to get implants and crowns. The dentist says they can get everything done before indoctrination in July.
Is this going to be a problem for his appointment? Should he get the implants?
