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?

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.
