AMID the British Army’s recruitment crisis, it has emerged that dozens of applicants are rejected each year due to their dodgy teeth.

Some 175 who failed the army’s medical fitness test over the past five years did so because of the poor state of their gnashers.

Last year, 52 who tried to enlist were knocked back due to dental issues, while 76 failed due to reproductive disorders and 83 were denied entry due to hormonal issues.
