Do they put them completely under anesthesia. My husbands never had anesthesia or has ever been on pain meds. Just worried about him having a reaction.

Some of the best fun in boot was watching your shipmates coming back from medical/dental high as a kite from the meds and trying not to screw up around the RDCs. We had one guy that was pretty much a constant verbal stream of what was going through his head, which pretty much amounted to "Oh F, F F F F F F F I made eye contact with chief...is he going to drop me now? My face feels funny. That female needs to wash her hair. Am I drooling?" etc etc

No laughing gas or anesthesia? I figure I will need something like 8 root canals & 6 teeth pulled. I'm not a huge fan of dentist pain.

It depends on each persons specific dental needs. But they generally just do the shots.

So theres a small chance I may get more than the shots, but dont count on it. I will try & get as much dental work done now. Thank you.

Keep in mind, if any of your dental work includes anesthesia it becomes a surgery and you have to report it to meps
