Go and have a checkup. There's a lot of people get rejected for mobilisation for bad teeth. Just because they don't hurt, doesn't mean there is no problem.

No, you wouldn't get rejected as there is no dental check on selection.

Unlikely, but to be honest the TA doesn't need grotty individuals who are unable to take care of their personal health.

A dentist's appointment doesn't even cost anything.

Should there be?

Certainly should be, in my opinion.

We know people aren't going to join and then go immediately to Chilwell but if their teeth are in a state at attestation it could be caught at the time. Rather than wait for them being binned at mobilisation further down their career path.

I am inclined to agree with you, but the devil's advocate says why should we make the joining process even more complex than it already is?
