I'm not exactly sure what the Navy policy is, but I do know that on board most ships and submarines, they do not have the resources, manpower, or time to properly extract wisdom teeth. Having them removed prior to deployment (which can last many months or even a year or more) can avoid a foreseeable problem, which under the right circumstances, could jeopardize a mission.

Combat conditions are stressful enough without having the sometimes debilitating pain associated with erupting or impacted wisdom teeth.

See if you have wisdom teeth when in a submarine which means youre underwater with water pressure which may cause eruption of youre wisdom teeth.Think about that if your teeth erupt when in the middle of a mission we dont want you moaning and groaning all the time.
