My husband has HORRIBLE teeth as well. He's the kind of guy who forgets to brush once, and ends up with major cavities. So he was in and out of dental the entire time. (He was not held back at all, actually, he graduated a week earlier than expected when he left). He did NOT, however, have his wisdom teeth pulled until he'd been in the Navy for about 2 years. He'd gone through boot camp, a-school, multiple c-schools, and a deployment before they pulled them. It was really nice to get the SIQ days though! (and yes, he was put out for it, but he wouldn't have been if he didn't have someone there to stay the entire surgery and then drive him home).
