Hello,

I am afraid we cannot provide definitive answers for individual medical queries on this forum. During the application process you will be able to get an answer based on your individual circumstances.

However, generally speaking, treatable dental conditions are not a reason to prevent personnel joining the Army. The only reason your training could be delayed is if you are going to require treatment during the course of your phase 1 training. Due to the nature of phase 1 training it can be difficult to allow time for this and therefore were possible, training is delayed until any treatment required is complete.
