A. "I realize this is hard for you to do. I will ask the nurse in surgery to remove them for you after you go to sleep." B. "Why don't you take them out and drape this washcloth over your face so no one can see you without your teeth?" C. "Leaving your teeth in during surgery may cause injury to you or your teeth.
