Must Have Perfect Teeth To Fly?
This question can be frequently seen in the comment section of my posts under the 5th category. Many aspiring cabin crews are so nervous to attend Emirates selection day due to teeth issues. They believe that in order to qualify to be a
flight attendant a certain individual must have perfect teeth. No!
We used to have such belief in mind until we met some flight attendant friends in Bahrain. They told us the real situation & what’s the real deal with this teeth issue. After learning this, MGA was motivated enough to conquer the scheduled Emirates Selection Day in Bahrain & luckily he went thru the entire process with flying colors. Now, MGA is enjoying the fabulous life of being a flight attendant.
So, what’s the real deal with teeth?
As per reference of the Emirates’ Medical Requirements here are the dental standards expected:
- Teeth should be free from carries & all necessary fillings completed.
- Roots etc. should have been removed. Sockets clean, uninfected & healthy.
- Temporary dressings are NOT acceptable.
- Gums & oral cavity to be free from infection or disease.
- Teeth should be free from plaque.
- Good level of periodontal health.
- Crown & bridgework, if present, should be in good condition.
- Gaps/missing teeth do not need to be replaced by bridges etc. If posterior & unnoticeable.
- Dentures, if applicable, should be in good condition & fit properly.
- Root canal treatments complete & satisfactory.
- Wisdom teeth which are normally symptom-free (i.e. which do not compromise adjacent teeth or which do not create recurrent infections) do NOT require removal.
- Dentition should be of cosmetically acceptable appearance – Cabin Crew.

Hello Annie! And really compliments for your outstanding site:) Quick question: I got a car accident 2 years ago and lost 7 teeth…yes:( I have implants there now and my smile is very beautiful. I have also a small scar under my lip but it doesn’t spoil my face at all. and a small scar on my hand. really nothing serious and i’m still an attractive woman. So, does it really matter for them? Looking forward for your answer. thank you.
I had no idea that flight attendants had to comply with such stringent appearance standards.
