Fixodent and Super PolyGrip are a couple of the top brands of denture cream linked to serious nerve damage. People suffering nerve damage may experience pain and numbness in the hands and feet, difficulty walking, and even paralysis.
Dangerous Denture Cream Symptoms
The following are some of the symptoms linked to dangerous denture cream. They include:
- Numbness or tingling in arms and legs (paresthesias)
- Painful or abnormal sensations when touching something (dysesthesias)
- Difficulty walking or lack of coordination when walking
- Weakness or heaviness in arms and legs
- Loss of sensation
- Loss of balance
Zinc is used in denture creams as an adhesive and odor controller. Zinc in small doses is safe for consumers, but too much can be harmful. Zinc decreases the body's copper levels, which affects the spinal cord and leads to difficulty walking and keeping balanced.
In some cases, people may use more adhesive denture cream in order to keep their poorly fitted dentures in place. Some denture wearers may be exposed to up to 330 mg of zinc daily. The recommended daily allowance is only 8 mg for women and 11 mg for men, and the largest tolerable zinc intake is 40 mg.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not require denture cream manufacturers to put warnings labels about zinc poisoning, copper depletion or nerve damage. Your safety is at risk as a result of neglect by denture cream manufacturers to warn consumers about potential dangers.
