Has There Ever Been A Link Between Wisdom Teeth Extraction And Something Akin To Seizures?
Has there ever been a link between wisdom teeth extraction and something akin to absence seizures? We are searching for a cause to some episodes my son is having and the timing with the extraction is suspect. Twilight sedation was used and only Ibuprofen for pain afterwards.
Wisdom tooth extraction can only be a cause precipitating the episodes your son would have been susceptible to it already. Extraction of teeth creates a certain stress that the body has to deal with which may also be evoked by things like heavy exercise, swimming etc. Its just that the cause would have already been and dental extraction just made it to manifest. You need not worry though, just be under proper follow ups for the seizures with the medical practitioner and do report it to the dentist in any subsequent visits so that the necessary protocol can be followed.
