Why does the anisthesiologist ask if you have dentures before performing a cesarian section?
Published: November 18th, 2009
They said that if someone had dentures that they would have to take them out during the c-section, why? Could you choke on them or something? Thanks a lot, and God bless you all.
im not exactly sure, but i know before i got my epidural they looked down my throat and make me take my tongue ring out

In case something goes wrong and they need to intubate you (stick a breathing tube down your throat) They need to know about any irregularities in your mouth.

I think it is more for the safety of the hospital than anything, with my second c section, they made me take off my wedding ring set. but they didn’t with my first one.

I had a C-Section and I was not asked that question… lol… maybe b/c I’m only 22 but I never heard of them asking that.
