Wisdom Teeth

The first sentence was not needed to answer this question and attempt to embarrass the poster. She appears to be a fairly new member asking an honest question, and may not be aware of the 'rules.' I am quite confident her son is very hands-on. No need to publicly bang your head against a brick wall.

Lighten up Francis. Larry Mullen has done more to help thousands of applicants navigate all things medical, and at the same time he has given a gentle reminder to thousands of parents that it’s their DS or DD’s job to take responsibility on their own. Anyone on this form for 10 seconds knows about Mr. Mullen’s response when any parent asks a question on behalf of their kid. Mommy and daddy aren’t going to be there during Beast or Swab Summer to tuck them in at night. Taking individual responsibility now will pay huge dividends later. It’s one thing to help your DD or DS set up appointments with doctors and obtain medical records (which we did), especially when they are under 18 years old and quite another to be asking questions on behalf of your DD or DS that they could easily ask on their own.
 
Abacab - Thx for the kind words. I don't pay attention to anything said by certain folks on the platform anyway. If you watched the trajectory of the thread, it was said in jest. I don't work for the State Department. You get it:wiggle:
 
I just had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday and so far no complications. Do I need to report this or only if I have complications?

How should I report my successful surgery? Should I try to find files to send in? DoDMERB emailed me back and told me that there isn't any paperwork to fill out and just to notify them if I have any adverse reaction or condition.

My family dentist, a retired military dentist, removed mine well before I went to OCS, doing one side, healing, then the other, noting, “let’s do this the easy way, because they’re gonna come after them at some point.” Then, years later, in my late 30’s, another one grew in, to my astonishment. Navy dentist handled it very nicely, noting “teeth had their own minds.” Memory just popped up.

FWIW, before I left for boot my dentist provide a letter stating that mine had come in perfectly. The boot camp dentist expressed the desire to pull them but I somehow evaded it. 23 years later and they're still in!

My son had to send in a letter from the surgeon & the doctor notes/etc from the procedure. The doctor sent it all to the contact person Mr. Mullen had contact my son back after my son emailed him.
 
nw2003 - Maybe you should look at our 6 Apr 2022 email exchange. Was there something you didn't understand? You asked a question that was not related to your posting above and you had made no decisions at the time........I will email you again
