Foreign-body airway obstruction (FBAO) (choking) is a life-threatening emergency. Each year in England and Wales, there are approximately 250 deaths caused by FBAO, 60% of which occur in the healthcare setting. Dental staff must be able to recognise and effectively treat FBAO. The aim of this article is to outline the recognition and treatment of choking in the dental practice.
