I'm in the wrong place, right? I did hit my head and I WAS unconscious, and I did have a second head injury because of my ditziness from the first one. Then I started having seizures, which were diagnosed by a neuro department at a large teaching hospital. I'm taking Dilantin and have stopped seizing, but it is causing my teeth to turn blackish-grey. BLACK TEETH? Having them pulled, and having an appliance made. Never had to have a tooth pulled, prior. Any experience with changing Dilantin from either brand name to generic, or using a newer seizure med?
