Brushing Teeth And Oral Triggers
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Anyone --> ever feel a seizure coming on when brushing, flossing or anything related? I know this sounds weird but months ago I would start randomly laughing while brushing my teeth for no reason to the point of tears; other times I would just pause and zone out...... I did find this --> https://www.aan.com/PressRoom/home/PressRelease...

That has happened to me, ask/tell Your Dr. about that. My gums 90% percent of the time bleed 🩸 also. That could be because of medication, or my gums are sensitive.
