I've had wisdom teeth surgery and a cyst surgically removed because they couldn't lance it both times I was put under. I never had an issue except after my wisdom teeth I became orthostatic was walking and just collapsed my mom thought it was a seizure and called for my dad but I was conscious the whole time it was the strangest thing I don't know if that is epilepsy related or just something that happens with me.

I had surgery on my back a few years ago. The doctor told me that if you are anesthesia, which you probably will be, you are very unlikely to have a seizure. He said there is a chance you could though. Since it was surgery on my spine that I was having it could cause serious problems if I did have a seizure. Everything went OK, no problems. I've had several other surgeries with no problems. I've even had my wisdom teeth removed too.

Talk to your dentist about it, make sure he knows you have epilepsy and that you do have seizures. He could probaby explain things better to you.
