Can Artificial Teeth Be Fixed Despite Not Having 14 Dental Points?

Hello two of my molars were root canaled few years back now only roots remain. One more tooth is bad but can be re capped. As per Army dentist I do not have 14 dental points as a result of the above. Is it possible to get artificial teeth fixed and be eligible for joining the Army.

Hello
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.Having an artificial teeth while joining army can be a minus point.
But as far as a capping is concerned you can get it done after RCT.but in some cases if the tooth is attrited very much then more number of caps has to be placed to get a proper occlusion.

Hope this answers your query.

Regards
Dr. Shesh
