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?

Hi Lisa - @lisalucier
Thank you for including me in this conversation. Thankfully, I have not experienced tooth damage during a seizure, I hope others will be able to share and help with some information.
Have a nice day!

Hi, @tonyde - Oh, that is really too bad a section of one of your molars broke off, especially with no memory of it occurring.

I have not had epilepsy or a seizure disorder. I had an incident tripping while stepping out of a boat when I was age two that knocked my front baby teeth up into my gums. When the adult teeth finally came in years later, they had marks on them. I had bonding as a child and then later crowns.

Tagging other members who've talked about epilepsy to see if they've experienced any tooth damage during a seizure, such as @santosha @lizadiane64 @chynex @jakedduck1 @debint @motobee @baa.
