I'm going to be deploying soon, and apparently the #1 reason that they used to send people home from the sandbox is wisdom teeth pain. So now they just remove them. I also experienced that immediate knockout-and-wake-up-like-5-hours-later effect. By the way, great blog. I’m also an Airman, and I just had my wisdom teeth removed by a LtCol as well.

This just happens to occur during the ages that most military recruits are either going through initial training or the first few years of military service. Happy coincidence on timing, but it is one of those things that makes for great stories and bonding during military deployments. Especially as the actual pulling of said teeth is not particularly demanding or delicate work and is often assigned to the more junior military dentists (who may or may not have the same credentials as civilian professionals).

I don't understand, WHY do they pull your teeth out? I'm being serious, I don't understand it. For pilots and divers there are certain precautions/regular checkups needed, but so many comments about people having had their teeth pulled out...que? *insert puzzled look* Really, having read more comments here now — what is it with the US Army and its tooth fetischism?!

My lower right molar came in impacted. They gave me several shots of Novicaine (sp) and turned the Nitrous waaaaaay up; I guess when I stopped mumbling answers to their questions it was time to turn the gas down... lol. They had to break the tooth in half and slice my gums down to get it out. They patched me up, gave me the two halfs of my molar in a box, and sent me back to the barracks. All was well for about three days, but then I started getting this really, really, nasty taste in my mouth every time I drank something. It took another day or two before I realized the gaping hole in my lower jaw wasn't empty. I started messing with it and loe and behold six inches of the surgical string they used to sew up my gums came popping out of the hole where my molar used to live. I guess they needed something prevent dry socket... Sure would have been nice to get some removal instructions. lol Fellow former airman here.

BM hunter from Hellscream here, and I've just discovered your oh-so-very amusing and highly informative blog. My God! The Airman Howell stories are making me...howl. I was in the military, US Army 77 - 81, so I love hearing what other folks have experienced. Anyway, keep 'em comin' cause they're sure making my day. Or perhaps I just need a life. Hiyas!

In the Navy they gave me shots of novacane and pulled all four. Nothing like having the dentist put his knee on your chest so he can get the leverage to extract those teeth. I thought he was gonna rip my head off. Man they put you under? In the Navy they gave me shots of novacane and pulled all four.
