Sick in Quarters. You're not allowed to leave your rack except for meals.

And for most dental work you will be wide awake, so no need to worry about being drowsy from anesthesia.

You'll get local anesthesia (rather than general) during the procedure. And then Ibuprofen is the Navy's pain killer of choice for a couple days afterwards.

My brother had his wisdom teeth pulled out while in boot camp and he was in bed for 2 days. It didn't hurt as much as he expected. If you tell the dentist that your wisdom tooth isn't bothering you, you might get the option of waiting til after boot camp. At least, that's what two of my friends said.

lol I feel like cutting open gums and taking out teeth without local anesthetic would be like a form of torture or something
