While I was at Gary Trudeau's site (via Orcinus), I was reading the submissions of the runners up in the "Win $10,000 by Proving that Bush Actually Served in the Alabama Guard" contest. And I noted this comment by a dentist:

I can't verify Bush's presence in Alabama, but as a dental professional I am intrigued with his dental records. Generally, an individual with a large bank account doesn't have any missing permanent molars without receiving a fixed bridge (#3 is missing, yet no bridge is placed between #2-4, #2 has a crown, but #4 only has a three surface restoration). The American public needs to see his posterior bitewings from 1973 and a current series of bitewings to better judge the authenticity of the information provided.

The dental records in Bush's military records are fake? Nah. They couldn't be that crude and clumsy, could they?

Hmmm. I guess Bush did say his records were "complete" (except for the crucial DD215 discharge papers, of course (back). But he didn't say they were completely true, did he? So I guess we have to let him off the hook for that one.

Do we have any dentist readers who can shed light on this?
