We can't answer specific medical questions. You do get a full medical during your assessment and your GP will have to provide your records before attending.

Emma, thank you for your question

There are current limitations with regards to dental.

If you require more than a certain amount of dental treatment prior to joining, you could be expected to get deferred until your treatment is complete

Hope this helps
