I am currently a submariner. the Reason is that when we are deployed there is not a dentist or doctor on board. It is done as a precatuion to prevent any problems from coming up that could prevent the boat from carrying out it's mission. when an emergency happens the boat has to leave the patrol area before we can even make contact with anyone to arrange a medivac. So if the teeth started to bother him it could be up to a week before he would be able to see a dentist. E-mail me if you need help with anything or have questions about subs\nKris

Don't worry about it; keep using the chisel - pretty soon, you'll be able to floss with the mooring line from your bass boat!\nYee-haw!

It takes something pretty serious to keep you from passing the screening. I'm seriously anemic and they still approved me to come here. I think a lot of it has to do with where your going. Our hospital here in Naples doesn't even have a Intensive Care Unit, I think it's a forty something bed hospital, so anybody with anything that is too bad, they wouldn't send somewhere like this. My biggest problem for the overseas screening was the dental. I actually had to have a lot of work done on my mouth! But that kind worked out for the best for me....I got braces and the Military is paying for them one hundred percent because I live overseas! I'm seen on base here for both medical and dental.As a dependent ( My husband is the active duty member ) over the age of 19, our dental insurance through the military in the States wouldn't cover anything for braces. And remember that when you go in for your screening, you'll see a military dentist for your dental screening, but if you have anything they want fixed before you go ( Wisdom teeth pulled, cavities filled, etc... ) they'll make you go to a civilian dentist to have it done, so you'll hav to pay whatever the insurance doesn't.

"Named after their first skipper"? "Generals in the Pentagon"?........dear me........\n\nfrom 1890 to about 1960, it was real simple.....battleships were named for states. Cruisers were named for cities ( not just capitols of states, ie Chicago, Northampton,San Fransisco) destroyers and destroyer escorts for naval hero's, submarines ( after they stopped numbering them) for fish( Harder, Trigger, Wahoo) carriers for battles ( Saratoga, Lexington, Valley Forge) or famous warships of the past ( Hornet Wasp Essex Constellation).....names evolved as consensus within the Navy and got submitted to the Sec of the Navy for approval.....sometimes some outside influence was accepted, but generally it was an in-house thing.\n This neat system cracked when the Navy named a carrier for FDR shortly after his death, and likewise JFK...and then the system fell apart to political pressure; a Congressman noted that "fish dont vote" so subs got named after cities ( Los Angeles class 688 boats); Presidents wanted to honor Presidents they had served under; Nixon-Eisenhower, Bush-Regan; Clinton wanted to piss off the Navy by naming a carrier for Truman who he admired and who hated the Navy....the system got a little back on track when missile subs took over the role of battleships and got state names    ( Ohio class) and destroyers are still named for naval heroes....Spruance, Burke.... but the whole system is fraught with politics and not as clean and simple as it once was.....three subs in a row, for example, are named for a fish, a state, and a pacifist but Naval Academy graduate President.......

You do not HAVE to remove wisdom teeth.  Alot of people need to because they do not have room for them or they are coming in wrong, as in sideways.  If you have room for them, they are coming in right, and dont have much trouble keeping them clean you have the option of keeping them.

Sometimes gums recede away from crowns due to the metal sub-structure.  This is common because gums don't like that kind of metal, even though it is best for the tooth.

Sure. But your tooth either had a cavity to have this placed or it was done for cosmetic reasons (?). Your tooth most likely was "drilled on" (prepped) to have this done and would have to be "drilled" on again to have it removed, so you would just have to replace it with something else. Once a tooth has a dental restoration placed, it always needs one because of enamel loss.

I think it sounds about right to me.  When my brother had to take his tooth out from his gums (it was stuck or something) he had to get braces first.  They'll probably just prep the tooth by spacing your teeth apart, and then pull them back together with your implant.  And besides, why not want perfect teeth? I got my braces off a month ago and my teeth are stunnign!

IN DENTISTRY THERE IS A PHENOMENON CALLED MESIAL DRIFT. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT TEETH DENT TO SLOWLY DRIFT TO THE CENTER OF THE MOUTH WHEN THERE IS A SPACE BETWEEN THE TEETH. TEETH DO NOT EVER MOVE TO THE REAR OF THE MOUTH.\nYOU  DIDN'T SAY WHY THIS TOOTH NEEDED TO REMOVED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

The tooth is basically encased in bone. They usually cut away the "roof" of bone and a little bit around the tooth to get it out. The hole that is left over usually fills back in with bone and shouldn't cause any problems.

We either throw them in a "biohazard" container so they can be properly destroyed or sometimes we have dental students ask us to save extracted teeth for them so they can use them to practice.\n\nWe don't usually give people their teeth unless they are "baby" teeth. They just have too many germs on them.

I'm a dentist.\n\nWisdom teeth do not cause crowding.  That is a common misconception.\n\nThey can, however, push against your second molars and cause resorption of the roots.\n\nThere are many reasons for which wisdom teeth are removed.  If your dentist recommended it, the you should have it done.  Certainly, if your dentist referred you to an oral surgeon you should go for the evaluation.

You think submarines run on seawater, yet call those that might actually know what they're talking about and disagree with you government loving idiots?\n\nSubmarines are powered by nuclear reactors using either enriched uranium or plutonium as fuel.  They don't use seawater to cool the reaction, since it would corrode the plumbing.  About all they do with seawater is distill it for drinking, and separate the oxygen out using electrolysis, since they have a great deal of extra electric power available.\n\nThey have made cars that run on hydrogen, which can be separated from water, but the power requirements for the electrolysis still make this very inefficient overall.\n\nEdit:\n\nAnd to all those thinking about cars running on steam, this is not "running on water".  Some fuel has to be consumed to heat the water to create steam; you're not saving anything.  All the old steam locomotives carried a huge hopper of wood or coal behind them to burn.
