I have signed my enlistment contract but i heard the army does a dental check up.Unfortunately i know i have gingivitis from not taking care of my teeth at a young age and not having any dental insurance to get it taken care of.What will they do.I heard they might replace my teeth?How do they do that-- implants or dentures?I have the receding gums and everything.And do they talk to you alone or infront of other future soldiers?I just don't want to feel embara*sed.I hate the dentist I used to goto- he was so mean.

Yes.If it's still the same as it was when I joined the Navy 40 years ago you will be given an exam and categorized 1, 2 or 3.(1 = good condition, 2 = fair, and 3 = major work needed).Those who needed extensive work were placed in a special holding unit for dental work.The Navy had excellent dentists and I got very good treatment.They will perform whatever work you need provided you are located near a major military facility.If not, you will be referred to a civilian dentist.Keep in mind, however, that I served a while back and things may have changed.Good luck to you and thank you in advance for serving our country.Chief Petty Officer U.S.Navy, Retired 1968-1990
