Denture wearers who use Fixodent and PoliGrip have unwittingly been exposed to zinc poisoning by these products. These denture adhesives are now known to have serious side effects, and cause long-term medical problems. People who believe that they may be suffering side effects due to their dental adhesive should contact a denture cream lawyer immediately. There are time restrictions on filing these lawsuits.
The manufacturers of Fixodent and Poligrip include zinc in their products, though it is not always listed as an ingredient. Zinc toxicity has been shown to cause a wide variety of problems including Neuropathy.
Studies have shown that the average user of denture cream adhesive has to far exceed the dosages that manufacturers list on the product, in order to actually secure dentures. These studies have also shown that in the course of this normal usage, denture wearers are exposed to dangerous levels of zinc. The manufacturers still do not even include a warning label on the packaging.
Zinc poisoning occurs when denture users absorb more zinc than their bodies can handle. It can hinder the absorption of other vital minerals and leads to the development of a dangerous medical condition known as Neuropathy.
Neuropathy is the damaging of nerve cells outside the brain and spinal column. It is most evident in the extremities, and is usually first felt as a tingling or numbness in the hands and feet. It can eventually lead to paralysis. Other symptoms associated with neuropathy and zinc poisoning include:
Denture cream lawyers are hard at work trying to recover compensation for people who are harmed by denture adhesive. If you have experienced side effects associated with zinc poisoning, you may have a valid legal claim. A denture cream lawsuit may be the only way you will receive compensation for your suffering.
