Gumby39 Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Last week, I had a couple of wisdom teeth removed. I knew these two would more than likely be questioned during the flight physical, so I had them popped out. After the pulling, the dentist told me he had to leave a small piece of the bottom tooth in because it wouldn't come out and it won't cause me any problems anyway, so there was no need to keep digging at it. I searched all over the forum and hadn't found any answers for this kind of situation. I know they will more than likely notice it when I get dental looked at, so is this something that they will make a fuss about or will they have the same mentality as my dentist? I, of course, could bring in a note from the dentist if needed. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taylor860 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 They actually didn't do a dental check for me when I got my physical Which I thought was kind of weird. I was nervous about it too because I still need to have mine removed. But the physical got stamped and approved. Taylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
