Has anyone damaged their teeth during a seizure

Definitely have problems with teeth because of seizures. It’s horrible. But I have also broken every thing in my body and tried to recover from each injury one day at a time.

My son has had several nocturnal seizures in recent years and recently switched dentists. When learning of his seizure history, the dentist recommended that he sleep with a mouthguard since they have known some patients to have suffered some tooth damage during seizures. We are exploring our options but it sounds like a simple way to avoid tooth damage and expensive dental bills.

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.

My husband broke an implant on the back bottom during a seizure.
