Hi Clarry

Thank you for your question.

Dentures and false teeth are tightly fixed. Only if they were loose or damaged could there be a risk during a seizure. So if you have any concerns in the future about your false tooth see your dentist.

Regards

I agree. There is no reason why you cannot have dentures. Your dentist will provide you with all the info. He/she will know about the meds you take and the risks. Be guided by the tooth doctor.
