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

644 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.

Probably those questions relate to intubation. The anesthesiologist will want to know if you have dentures, as those usually come out before surgery.
