Wisdom Teeth

[usafa2024hopeful]

What is the typical process for the DoDMERB to handle someone getting wisdom teeth surgery? Is this common for the DoDMERB to have to clear? I will most likely going to need surgery soon, but wanted some insight from anyone who knows more about this.

This is very common. You’ll want to be well-healed and re-cleared by DODMERB. Call your assigned DODMERB tech to get the timing.

Don’t procrastinate. You want to be healed up, no complications, with your status fully cleared, so you are not flailing at the last minute.

Read this again - note where it asks you to update status by calling DODMERB. I also highly recommend going to the DODMERB site and working your way through the menu on the left.
