Bed wetting: The gnashing of teeth and wetting the bed can make one suspicious of a seizure disorder. See a neurologist.

? seizure: It is unusual for someone his age to start wetting the bed at night. Seizures do occur at night. The only clue may be loss of bladder control during the night. Speak to your doctor. He may refer you to a neurologist and get a sleep deprived electroencephalogram or possibly an all night sleep study.
