My wisdom teeth
Do they have to be taken out in bootcamp even if you dont have any issues with them

More often than not, yes. But it depends on the dentist.
The reason being, they don't want them to start giving you trouble sometime when you're in the middle of the ocean.

I thought the same thing before I went to bootcamp. When I finally went to dental, they told me they were going to wait a few years for them to take them out. It really just depends on who is doing your paperwork honestly.

This piqued my interest. I have one wisdom tooth for the last four years. Yes, just the one. Don't know where the heck the other three decided to go off to. Anyway, since I really don't have an issue with it, I'm guessing it won't be an issue, right?

I was glad to get all of mine pulled at once a year ago, sucked then but now I don't have to worry about it at RTC

They're coming out. Mine came in fine no problems (my civilian dentist was gonna have me keep them). I got all 4 out in boot. You will get them out, most in boot but some might get delayed til A School or First command. No worries though, they're wisdom teeth pros at RTC and you'll be fine. Discomfort a little, but pain? virtually none.
