DENTURE CREAMS SUCH AS POLYGRIP, FIXODENT, AND OTHERS MAY CAUSE PERMANENT NERVE DAMAGE
RESEARCHERS HAVE DISCOVERED A VERY STRONG LINK BETWEEN DENTURE CREAMS AND ZINC POISONING:
A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas suggests that excessive use of denture creams, such as Poligrip, Fixodent, and others may cause several serious side effects. Denture creams contain high levels of the mineral zinc, which if taken can cause serious and even life threatening nerve damage. Denture cream zinc poisoning mimics many other disorders, and is often misdiagnosed. To correctly diagnose denture cream zinc poisoning, the zinc and copper levels in a patient’s blood must be tested immediately!
SYMPTOMS OF DENTURE CREAM POISONING INCLUDE:
- Tingling or numbness in the legs, feet, arms, or hands
- Loss of sensation or unexplained pain and muscle weakness
- Poor balance and coordination
- Decrease in walking stride
- Abnormal blood pressure and heart rate
- Reduced ability to perspire
- Constipation and bladder dysfunction
CONTACT A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY: If you or a loved one suspect zinc poisoning from the use of denture cream, contact a doctor as soon as possible to receive the proper testing. Because early testing is vital to treating zinc poisoning, it is important that denture cream users contact a doctor immediately.
PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS: It is important to speak to an attorney immediately if you or a loved one are planning to stop using denture cream in order to ensure that key medical evidence for your claim is preserved.
