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?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Epilepsy & Seizures Support Group.

Luckily, that was in the beginning and because of the aid of the proper meds, he has been seizure free for 14 mos and living on campus at university

My son did wake up one morning with a dislocated jaw. It was in the beginning before we were able to get him into a neurologist. We are pretty confident he had a seizure and that cause his dislocated jaw. He was 17 when he had a sudden onset and we have no explanation of why.

I'm very sorry to hear your son is going through that. Seizures are bad enough without them starting for an unknown reason and a dislocated jaw. We'll keep him on our prayers.

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.
