My fiance had his first ever grand mal seizure in 4/17. It happened at 4am while he was in the bathroom getting for work. He fell and hit his head, nose and mouth on our bathroom table (wood) he convulsed pretty long and violently. His nose was pretty banged up and bruised and he broke about 6-7 top teeth. He had a retainer and his retainer was hanging from his mouth with his teeth. He had to have 8 extractions. Supposedly if you break or lose teeth during medical injury, it can be billed and covered by medical due to it being from a seizure that’s what we are trying currently because dental work for denture or implants is quoted at 8k for everything. He is currently on Keppra

I have had Gran Mal's and have empathy for him. Not to reference your fiance, but this is an example about what the public needs to be educated. If public awareness would be widespread, this kind of seizure and subsequent damage that one experiences may help to generate more research and cure funding. I wish both of you the best.
