It would be best to discuss this with the doctor treating your son. Please remember that all medication can have side effects. During your next visit ask your doctor if it would be advisable to change his medication. Optimal seizure control is what we strive for. This means reducing the frequency, duration and intensity of seizure with the least possible side effects.
I was on Tegretol for over 30 years and the medication that affected my teeth was mainly Phenytoin. Please speak to your Doctor or Neurologist and maybe request a change in medication for your son.
