silly about the teeth
I have to remove one tooth (the upper right premolar) tomorrow. To say the truth I am terrified of that because I fear one tooth less would lead to something bad to my medicals in the future.
By the way I`m still in college and I have not yet started flight training. I`m just checking if this will not affect me when I begin it!
It goes back when wanted to join the Air Force, and one of their medical requirements was to have a "chewing percentage" above of 85%. I never knew what that meant for flying. I figured it had to do with how many teeh you`ve got.
I already miss like three teeth less that never grew, and one more being removed worries me a bit. Is it a bad thing in the airline world? any tiny info please!
Thanks

People with no teeth at all regularly pass initial and renewal medicals every day. It's simply not an issue.
Methinks you worry too much.
If it's in a very obvious place and you think that you may be "cosmetically disadvantaged" at a future interview, save up your money and get an implant.
