It's understandable to be concerned about loose or damaged teeth from seizure activity. However, putting objects in the mouth during a seizure can lead to choking or other injuries. It's best not to restrain the person or put anything in their mouth while they are having a seizure. Instead, talk to your doctor about options Show Full Answer

It's understandable to be concerned about loose or damaged teeth from seizure activity. However, putting objects in the mouth during a seizure can lead to choking or other injuries. It's best not to restrain the person or put anything in their mouth while they are having a seizure. Instead, talk to your doctor about options to protect your teeth. A custom-fitted mouthguard made by your dentist may help reduce damage from biting or grinding during seizures. Staying hydrated and practicing good oral hygiene can also help keep your teeth and gums healthy.
