Has anyone damaged their teeth during a seizure

Posted by tonyde @tonyde, Mar 14 3:09pm

I recently broke off a section my one of my molars and have no memory of it happening. My dentist told I need crowns for that tooth and the one next to it caused by grinding.

Has anyone experienced breaking a tooth during a seizure or experienced other tooth damage?

Not my teeth yet, but I bitten both sides of my tongue

I'm 41. I've only had 2 seizures where I lost consciousness, the rest of them are focal. Do brain cells grow back? My last one was recent and the first day at a new job I feel a little slow

@ginnjuice - when you say you still feel like you are missing something, will you share more about that? What types of signs, symptoms or other occurrences are you noticing?

I was told two different things about brain cells growing back. It takes about 3 years for brain cells to grow back. I was also told your brain builds "new routes" around the damaged brain area. My answer, based on feedback from 2 neurologists is maybe.

I would love to hear what other people have been told.
