Are night mouthguards safe? Has anyone else had one and are they safe to wear in case of a seizure? My dentist knows i have epilepsy. The mouthguard i have is more like a clear rubber than a plastic and was made to measure for my mouth. It fits snugly and doesn't move around at all. I couldn't imagine it coming loose enough for me to choke on it, but i'm not sure... Add the teeth grinding to the teeth already missing from doing faceplants and i really don't want to lose more!

| My dentist had one of those made for me too. Curse you Lou for reminding me to get back in the habit of wearing it at night. I never worried about it being unsafe, maybe because I don't usually have tonic/clonic seizures but it does stay stuck on my teeth pretty well. It has made me wonder if my grinding my teeth at night has anything to do with my seizures though.

| My son grinds his teeth at night. As for mouthguards are unsafe for severely mentally impaired children like my son he seals his teeth twice a year.

| It's kind of weird getting used to it... I wonder if teeth grinding is a really common thing then. Most of my tonic clonic seizures are nocturnal.

| Wore it last night and its worn a small hole into my gum above my left canine. I must have been doing some amount of grinding for it to do that O.o Perhaps I should go to have it re-fit...

| I agree with Nakamova, remember it was supposed to be made in case you grind your teeth.
