Denture Creams and Zinc Poisoning Consumer Alert

Scott Wm Weinstein

The denture adhesive creams that are used to hold dentures in place have recently been linked to zinc poisoning. People with ill-fitting dentures are at an elevated risk for zinc poisoning, because they often use a large amount of denture cream to hold their dentures in place. Zinc poisoning, if not diagnosed quickly, can result in serious and permanent health problems. Symptoms of zinc poisoning include unexplained weakness, numbness, and loss of sensation. If you are experiencing these symptoms and are using a denture adhesive that contains zinc, such as certain types of Fixodent and certain types of Poligrip, you should speak with a medical professional. A blood test can determine if you are suffering from zinc poisoning.
