Dreading dental treatment

Has anyone with Fnd and seizures had dental treatment and got through it OK. I woke up this morning with rotten migraine, every tooth aching, sore cheek bones, tender forehead and could hardly keep my eyes open. Think I might have been clenching my teeth in my sleep as I'm feeling stressed about upcoming dental appointment. I'm terrified of taking a seizure during treatment and choking as seizures leave me completely paralysed and unable to speak. Does anyone have any tips or advice from personal experience

The best thing is to be completely open with your dentist so that he/she knows what to do. Perhaps they can do the treatment in small doses? Or book you in a double appointment so that you can rest and recover a bit every so often? Let us know how you get on.

Not what you're looking for?
