When are wisdom teeth pulled?

Well, depends on how bad the condition of the wisdom teeth are. Having had all four ripped out in one sitting and given 4 days of quarters (1 day per tooth), I'd say wait until after AIT. But, again, we circle back to how bad they are. If they're that bad...shouldn't have shipped until they were out. Now, it taken during BCT, possible risk of recycling...same for AIT.

But, to answer the question, they're pulled when the dentist seems they need to be pulled.

Some people never get their wisdom teeth removed. It is an invidiual case by case determination by a dentist.

Getting your wisdom teeth pulled is not considered a major operation.
However leaving them in until you get an infection is very bad for you.
After all the infection would be within one inch of your brain.
Think about the problems from a nasty bug seeping into your noggin.

For all I know there is no particular time! Is an individual situation! You don’t even have to pool them out if there is not a reason to do so!

I broke a tooth in AIT and all they did was give me a temporary filling until I reached permanent party. If they become infected in Basic, then they will have to be pulled. You’ll probably only be allowed one day to recuperate and it shouldn’t cause you to recycle. Best of luck Liz Susan! Dental issues aren’t pleasant

When I arrived at my base in Turkey and was going around to the different offices to get my check in forms signed, I was advised that the dentists on base wanted to pull everyone's wisdom teeth. I avoided them and initialed my own form. It took them about a year and a half to catch up with me and I had PCS orders, so they decided to let the next base worry about it. I was at the dentist a lot on my next base and they never said anything about it. I left the AF and was told I had one year to get them pulled by my civilian dentist and the VA would pay for it. My civilian dentist that I had before I enlisted did all four at once. I was a college photographer and shot graduation ceremonies later the same day and the next day. My head was pounding. But, I got it done on my own terms.

I had to have mine removed before I was discharged from the Marines. They were lying down on their side, the dentist said that my jaw was too small for them.

Usually during AIT on a Friday

Well my Dad having had a few negative experiences with Navy Dentist during WWII thought i was better off getting it done before I entered the Armed Forces and with a Dentist We knew was good. The Dentist I went Dr, Harold Nathonson Who actually had been a Navy Fighter Pilot and Lt. Commander during WWII. He stil lflew in air shows and did aerobatics and was very well know in aviation circles. He was also one of the top Oral surgeons in the United States. I may add both of His son's and His Grandson also were pilots. One of His son's had been a C130 pilot in the US Coast Guard and I had been up in a Cessna 180 with Him.

When I went through reception they didn't do any dental work. They took x-rays and that was it. I had a class 3 in my mouth and it wasn't addressed until I got to my 1st duty station. As far as my wisdom teeth I will get them taken out next year. Unless you're having pain or they are causing some type of trouble (cavaties) they won't take them out unless you ask. I asked since mine were developing cavities.
