Convulsions and seizures are common with epilepsy. They can cause a number of dental health problems, including the following:
Unfortunately, the medications used to keep epileptic seizures under control can also cause problems for dental health. The best way to prevent these problems from occurring is to practice good oral healthcare. This includes brushing your teeth at least twice a day, floss daily, and visit the dentist every six months for a dental cleaning and an exam.
When making an appointment here at Little Rockies Pediatric Dentistry, please make sure to let us know if your child is epileptic and what medications he or she may be taking to control the condition. It’s also helpful to let us know the type, frequency, and triggers of seizures to make sure the appointment goes smoothly.
For more information or to make an appointment for a dental cleaning and exam for your epileptic child, please contact Little Rockies Pediatric Dentistry located here in Parker, Colorado.
