Why is it important to have your teeth in order for surgery?

674 viewsOther

I had gallbladder surgery last year and I have an upcoming one this year for my thyroid but I was wondering, why is it that they ask about dental stuff. Why is it important for surgery? What happens to people who have emergency situations and have like bad teeth or something? Just curious.

It’s very easy to get blood borne infections through poorly maintained teeth/gums, which can wreak havok on your body as you’re trying to recover from surgery.
