Denture creams have been proven to have
severely and dangerous side effects. This is caused by the high
amount of zinc, a heavy metal that is found inside of the creams.
Zinc poisoning can, in severe cases, lead to a serious condition
called neuropathy. This affects the nerves, which can cause serious
problems. The symptoms of this disorder are dangerous, frightening,
and many.
If you have any of the symptoms of Denture
Cream poisoning which includes: loss of feeling in the extremities,
such as fingers, hands, toes, difficulty walking and fatigue you
should be tested for Neuropathy and your level of Zinc and Copper in
your blood stream, both quick tests. You may want to consult both an
attorney specializing in such issues as well as contacting a
physician’s office for additional testing. The Denture Cream
Attorney will suggest what tests need to be run.
The Departments of Neurology and Clinical
Sciences at the University of Texas have found zinc poisoning in
patients who use large amounts of denture cream.
Zinc poisoning has been proven to have severe and dangerous side
effects, and can lead to a serious condition called neuropathy. A
small amount of zinc is
necessary for a balanced human diet. However, being exposed to more
than 10 times the amount of recommended
zinc can result in
zinc
poisoning.
Zinc
poisoning can be deadly if
not caught and treated quickly.
For healthy adults, the daily recommended
amount of zinc ranges
between 12 and 15 milligrams. Most people are able to get the
necessary amount of zinc
naturally, through eating foods which have absorbed
zinc. Dietary
zinc appears in most
multivitamins and also as a plain pill. Doctors are now learning
that certain denture creams appear to have high levels of zinc,
which can be absorbed through the mouth, possibly leading to zinc
poisoning.
