Should you remove well fitted dentures in an unconscious casualty?

Yes, you should remove well fitted dentures in an unconscious casualty because they can easily dislodge and block the airway or be swallowed into the respiratory tract. When someone collapses suddenly they might accidentally bite their tongue and it may also swell rapidly so it's better to take out anything which fits inside it. Well fitted dentures may fall off with an upward pressure applied on the jaw
