Our literature review analyzes the sources focusing on epilepsy, as well as on aspects of working with children suffering from epilepsy at a dentist's appointment. Based on the obtained data, the oral cavity status may indicate previously undetected epilepsy, as the dentist may become a doctor of the first contact. And when managing children diagnosed with epilepsy, it is important to select individual treatment tactics for them. The dentist, therefore, should have basic understanding of the patient's condition, the main symptoms of epilepsy, and be capable of applying first aid tactics in case of an epileptic seizure. Otherwise, epilepsy patients tend to have poor dental health and need regular visits to the dentist.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
