Does Tooth Extraction Trigger Seizures?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Palm Springs, CA

I have an infected tooth that is getting pulled out next Thursday. The pain has me in constant auras now. Has anyone had any complications during a tooth extraction that I should be prepared for?
Thanks, CatπŸ’œ

merry xmas... so about the teeth... there is a lotta things to consider. irritation from the gums, the meds that ineract with the seizure meds, your allergic to the meds, pain level is to high, ect... but probably a combo of things..

It's possible but if everything is managed well then you should be fine. I go to the dentist alot and don't have any issues.

I had half of my teeth pulled. I even had an old-fashioned dentist pull them out. It never bothered me.

Let the people know that you have epilepsy/seizure disorder. Don’t take the risk if you feel a seizure warning .
