Just wait, the army has dentists.FreedomXforAll wrote:Rangers,
After recently emailing a recruiter, I decided to make sure I fit all of the physical requirements needed to secure an Opt. 40 contract. Everything seemed good until I remembered one thing. My two front bottom teeth do not have permanent teeth, so I still have my "baby" teeth.
I read the sticky on future questions on physical requirements and went to section 5-3 as suggested, at which point it referred me to section 2-5 (Dental) It said all implants must be non complicated and from talking to my dentist that is what mine will be. I was wondering if an implant is needed, would I have to get it before I DEP, or would it be possible to just not get it until after I leave the service and not need a medical waiver?

Re: Dental Implants
My four front teeth on top are implants and I had them put in about three months before joining the Army (this would've been late 1996). I had a more complicated case for implants then most. Normally, it's not that big a deal. I woud check with your dentist first and see what he says about the implants, how long it takes for them to set, etc.

Why the hell would anyone want bigger teeth?
Oh wait, different implants.
