Has anyone damaged their teeth during a seizure?
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?

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.
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.
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.
