Practicing dentistry with epilepsy

[Guest]

I'm preparing to apply for my dental license. I suffer from mild epilepsy with sporadic hand tremors in my right (stronger) hand. The frequency is variable and there are no warning signs. Once it starts, it usually lasts 2-3 seconds. I'm fully aware of the challenges this poses for dental practice.

I post to ask for advice. Any advice is welcome, but discussion of field roles, work settings, and methods of practice would be particularly useful in thinking through this dilemma.

Thank you.

My advice to you is just always to stay calm when it begins to happen, so god for bid if and when it happens to you while with a patient, it doesn't worry them because it looks like you have everything under control.
