Zinc-Free Denture Cream

Zinc, which is a trace element, is a necessary component of a healthy diet. It is needed for:

The immune system to work properly
The processes of cell division and wound healing
The breakdown of carbohydrates
Our ability to smell and taste

But, our bodies need only a tiny amount of zinc daily to keep the body functioning properly. The recommended daily intake for adults is 8 to 9 mg a day. Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding need a bit more.

Since we don’t have a natural system for storing zinc in the body, it is important to ingest some of the element daily, whether through the diet or nutritional supplements.

Zinc Poisoning

However, instead of having too little zinc in the body, many people using denture cream fixatives are getting too much zinc, resulting in zinc toxicity. This causes problems even more severe than having too little zinc. Too much zinc results in:

Copper deficiency
Serious neurological problems

The copper deficiency produces the neurological problems, which include:

Pain, numbness, or tingling sensations in the limbs
Muscle or limb weakness
Problems with balance
Difficulty walking
Paralysis
Cramping
Sensory Disturbance

A 2008 recent collaborative study showed Fixodent® and POLYGRIP® zinc concentrations ranged from 17,000 to 34,000 micrograms per gram; an amount significantly higher than was safe. The researchers, from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, and the Mayo Clinic concluded that too much zinc could result in copper deficiency and profound neurological disease.

Denture Cream Without Zinc

Zinc is supposed to improve the adhesive quality of denture creams, but effective creams without zinc are available. Some denture creams that are advertised as zinc free are:

Secure Denture Adhesive
Super Polygrip Zinc Free Denture Adhesive
Effergrip ExtraStong Denture Adhesive Cream, Zinc Free Formula

Contact A Denture Cream Poisoning Lawyer

If you use denture cream and have experienced any of the symptoms associated with zinc poisoning, you should contact a denture cream-poisoning lawyer as soon as possible. Hundreds of lawsuits are being filed against the makers of denture creams containing zinc. You deserve to be compensated for the pain, suffering, and expense as a result of zinc toxicity.
