I've heard majority of the seizure medicine cause mouth and teeth damage and problems. Which I agree with as since being on 10 different seizure medicines I've had more problems with my teeth than I ever did prior

Not really grinding but the only time I had really random sudden teeth damage most likely related to meds was when I was changing from Tegretol to Keppra. Origanlly I blaimed the Keppra for this but they think it was more likely the process of coming off Tegretol.

I'm sure when younger and seizures more severe, I did but no1 was around to tell me if so. I did scratch my face going through them at times.
