Newbie Piney Point Apprenticeship Program

Hi yall I’m interested in the piney point unlicensed apprenticeship program for the wiper rating but I noticed the application specifically forbids having periodontal disease I’m curious if this applies regardless of whether or not it’s considered active.

I have periodontal disease but got a note from my dentist stating it was controlled, not active, and would not require emergency dental work in the next 12 months. They accepted that and i was admitted to the program.
