When performing rescue breathing on a person who is wearing dentures, it is generally advisable to leave the dentures in place if they are firmly fitted. Removing them could compromise the airway or make it more difficult to deliver effective breaths. However, if the dentures are loose and obstructing the airway, they should be removed to ensure proper ventilation. Always prioritize ensuring an open airway for effective rescue breathing.
