Why incur that cost now? Why let it impact your basic? Neither of those seem like good options. If you&#39;re going into the Reserves or NG, I suppose cost drops out of the equation, but timing doesn&#39;t. I&#39;d still wait until after you are done with all of your training. LTC Kevin B.

Many get them extracted the first week in training, if they need to be pulled.<br />Plus, its free.

Once you are finished &amp; go to your duty station, it is free to have them yanked! That is what I did and had all four out at once.

If the recommendation is as a preventive, and you don&#39;t want to pay the copay, the Army will be glad to snatch all four of them out at your first duty station. If the recommendation is because you&#39;re in pain and they are impacted, you should have it done before you leave. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Wed, 23 Jan 2019 15:26:41 -0500 2019-01-23T15:26:41-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/should-i-wait-to-get-my-wisdom-teeth-removed-until-i-get-to-basic-or-get-it-done-now?n=4449243&urlhash=4449243 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I ship for basic in 3 weeks and I got my teeth removed last week. I don&#39;t want to spend any more time in TRADOC than necessary, and since I&#39;m still under my parents insurance, the co-pays were low... Then again mine were also impacted and I had been pushing it off for awhile.
