Hello.
I'm new to this, was hoping someone out there would be able to help me.
I'm looking to join the Submarine Service as a Marine Engineer and I have my medical coming up soon. My dental standards aren't really anything to be proud about.
I've had three teeth extractions, two were nasty cracks that I didn't get seen and they cracked again and the other was due to a wisdom tooth pushing it out of line. apart from that I have a few fillings. And one root canal which has quite a hefty filling in it.
So like I say nothing to be really proud about, although I still have a nice smile, just not much left at the back of my mouth.
I recently visited my dentist and she didn't want to see me for another 6 months so I was hoping someone would be able to enliten me about the Medical / joining standards regarding Dental health.
Also she mentioned implants to me, which i admit sounded an attractive proposition, but I wasn't sure if this would cause a problem with my joining.
any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
