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.

They ask you that so they can tell you to remove anything that’s removable like partial dentures that could be dislodged. Or to be aware of any temporary crowns or loose crowns etc. They just want to make sure you don’t choke on anything
