They may have him get them fixed before he goes in, or they may fix them for him. When I went into boot camp a lot of the guys had never been to the dentist in their lives, so they had to have a lot of dental work done. Let your cousin know that they will probably use dental students to do the work, and they can be a bit brutal and also they will do almost all of it at once, so it might be in his best interest (less pain) to go get it done before he goes in.

The condition of your cousin's teeth should have no bearing on his eligibility. The Army will take care of his teeth once he's sworn in.
Your cousin might consider going to a civilian dentist before he joins. A civilian dentist might be a little more caring than his military equivalent. I'm not saying that the army dentists aren't as good as the civilians, I'm just saying that the civilian dentist might be a wee bit more gentle.

No his teeth will not keep him from getting in. His teeth will be taken care of before he leaves or shortly after basic training and it will not cost him a penny.
Those bad teeth may cause him discomfort in basic training. If its bad enough pain they may sideline him until they fix them and he will put back into the training pipeline.

Sounds like your cousin brushes his teeth about as much as you click the caps lock off. As far as teeth, I think the military has recently adopted the "Dont smile, dont ask" policy to allow people with neandrethal (or european) oral care to join.

He may be accepted to the Army if his character is moral better than his teeth.

The Army is so desperate for cannon-fodder they'll take him, if they think he'll pass basic. His pay will be deducted for the necessary dental work.
The Army takes felons now.
