Islandcool 0 #1 June 12, 2003 I had a root canal done once and the threw in a temp filling because of an infection. I tried to jump that weekend and my head felt like it was going to explode on the way up to altitude. They told me at the time it was probably ok to jump. I'm having a bunch of dental work done now. One more root canal and crowns. It will take several weeks more until it is all over. They say Jul 8th. Does anyone think it would be ok to jump or should I wait for the permanent stuff to go in? Experiences??? Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouDiamond 1 #2 June 12, 2003 If your on meds then the answer is no. If you can make it to altitude and your head isn't about to explode and your confident that your not going to use your face to stop your chute then I see no problem. just don't drool on your fellow skydivers on the way up"It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
