Private RallyPoint Member 4397559 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Hey All,<br /><br />I have a few questions. I was eating food my friend bought me and I&#39;m assuming they left bone chips in it because I bit down and this hard piece of bone cracked my filling in my tooth. I ship out Tuesday so my question is would it be best to fix the filling in my tooth Monday or do they fix fillings during reception? If I fix it Monday does that affect my drug test etc at reception? I hears novocaine carries traces of cocaine so would the best thing be to wait instead?<br /><br />Thanks!!!! 2019-02-24T15:58:13-05:00 Private RallyPoint Member 4397559

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Great question! Welcome to the Army.<br /><br />they&#39;re most likely NOT going to fix it during BCT. <br />I&#39;m my anecdotal experience, we didn&#39;t have any recruits get fillings or anything until AIT. You have a much higher chance that they&#39;ll fix your teeth then. It may be best to not risk potentially failing a UA.<br /><br />Consider that you&#39;ll most likely have 2.5mo of no dental work.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>They will not send you to BCT with damaged teeth. <br />Make sure got tell someone, preferable the dental team, while you&#39;re in reception!<br />Now, Army dentists are very good at extractions. I&#39;m not sure how affective they are at fillings. <br />If you have your own dentist that can do it for cheap then go for it. <br />If not, let the Army take care of you, it&#39;s free!

And no, Novocaine or lidocaine are not going to give you a positive pee test.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I suggest you do better research. I can tell you for a fact that modern dental analgesics have different structures then the part of the molecule of cocaine that makes coke have the effect it does.<br /><br />The more pressing issue for you and your recruiter is going to basic with a dental issue

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Get it fixed before leaving and no it will not mess up any drug tests.
