Denture Cream & Zinc Poisoning

As the population of America ages, more people than ever before are using dentures. These millions of Americans depend on denture cream adhesive to keep their dentures in place. Many denture users, especially those with older or loose fitting dentures are forced to use excessive amounts of denture cream to keep them secure. Unfortunately, these creams contain zinc, which in large doses is a potentially toxic and dangerous substance known to lead to severe medical conditions, including neuropathy.

Symptoms of Zinc Poisoning

Denture adhesive cream zinc poisoning, and neuropathy, can cause a variety of symptoms, including:

Problems in the extremities (loss of sensation or tingling in the hands and feet; may also be a loss of ability to move the legs and arms, as well as the hands and feet)
A decrease in coordination, poor balance
Abnormal blood pressure/heart rate
Decreased perspiration, constipation and urinary dysfunction
Loss of cognitive function

Brands of Denture Cream with Zinc

PoliGrip: GlaxoSmithKline produces several types of adhesive, all of which may lead to denture cream zinc poisoning. These are marketed under the brand names PoliGrip and Super PoliGrip, with several different versions available.

Fixodent: Proctor and Gamble Co is the other leading producer of adhesive. These are marketed under the brand name Fixodent. Fixodent contains zinc, and through repeated use may also lead to denture adhesive cream zinc poisoning.
