I have heard that sometimes root canals (dead teeth) can cause an issue in body an wreak havoc on the body because its natural dead matter, its almost better to pull the tooth and put an implant in its place. I've often wondered if my seizure disorder stems from some of my dental work that started as a child. Has anyone else looked into this, or had other treatments?

The ketogenic diet is something some people try using to help control their epilepsy/seizures.

When I had my brain surgery, it stopped my Grand Mal seizures . I still have seizures, but I don’t get any sever ones. I now have mild and moderate seizures.

Well, don't freak out because it might not be the case but I am looking into natural dentists who know more, and would work with my neuro in the process.
