While a necessary mineral in moderate amounts, excessive amounts of zinc can lead to serious side effects, including neurological disorders such as pain in the fingers and toes, loss of balance, loss of strength in arms and legs, and numbness / tingling in arms and hands.
Unfortunately, many denture cream products, such as Poligrip and Fixodent, can contain levels of zinc hundreds of times greater than the recommended daily allowance. The Neurology journal has reported on several denture cream users who have suffered from neurological problems related to zinc poisoning and copper depletion, possibly as a result of their use of denture creams.
The FDA currently does not yet require denture cream manufacturers or marketers to label their products with information about the possible side effects related to zinc poisoning.
If you have been hurt or injured by using denture cream products, including Poligrip and Fixodent, you may be entitled to compensation.
