March 2, 201312 yr Had a kid ask me a question about dental req'ts. Recent OTS rated board select for RPA pilot. He has four lower back teeth broken off to the roots, non-restorable, but not painful or any observed decay. Will he pass the dental exam, or will they require him to have them pulled to eliminate the roots? I know cavities require fixing before they'll pass you, but I don't know about teeth that are simply broken to the gum line.

Gotta be a good story behind that.....

The criteria he's trying to meet is to not "have oral conditions that the examining dentist expects to result in dental emergencies within 12 months (if not treated)." We don't have any way of examining medical/dental records, nor are we qualified dentists.

He'll just have to see what the dentist says, which is an answer by itself.
