RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-03138
INDEX CODE:
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 10 April 2006
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214 be corrected to show all dental work was not completed
within 90 days of separation.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The dental work he was provided failed two weeks after discharge. The
tooth they worked on is causing him pain even though they said they
did all of their proper work.
Applicant does not submit any documents in support of the appeal.
Applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 5 September 2000.
The applicant’s dental records indicate he had a filling placed in
tooth #18 on 5 March 2004. The filling in tooth #18 was re-
accomplished on 20 April 2004 due to discomfort. On 2 June 2004, he
presented complaining of continued discomfort with chewing and the
dentist concluded the tooth demonstrated normal sensitivity.
The applicant was honorably released from the Air Force on 5 September
2004 under the provisions of AFI 36-3208 (Completion of Required
Active Service). He had served four years on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The BCMR Medical Consultant states the Service dental record indicates
that the applicant received all appropriate dental services within 90
days prior to separation. He asserts dental work on tooth #18
accomplished a few months prior to separation failed during the second
week after separation but provides no documentation (for example a
Department of Veterans Affairs compensation and pension exam) to show
there was a failure of the restoration of tooth #18 so soon after
discharge other than normal sensitivity of the tooth. Action and
disposition in this case are proper and equitable reflecting
compliance with Air Force directives that implement the law.
The BCMR Medical Consultant is of the opinion that no change in the
records is warranted based on evidence of the record available for
review.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 23 November 2005, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and response within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
and adopt their rationale as the basis for the conclusion that the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly
discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
