It is estimated that more than 35 million Americans wear dentures and use denture creams such as Poligrip and Fixodent. These products can cause Zinc poisoning. Most denture adhesive creams contain zinc. Medical studies show that excessive exposure to zinc can lead to copper depletion, often resulting in serious neurological problems.
Neuropathy is a disorder of the nerves of the peripheral nervous system and is commonly caused by zinc poisoning. Severe denture cream neuropathy may result in permanent disability and paralysis. The symptoms of denture cream neuropathy can include:
- poor balance and coordination
- abnormal blood pressure and heart rate
- constipation and bladder dysfunction
- decrease in walking stride
- tingling, numbness, burning, or pain in the extremities
- paralysis or loss of ability to move arms, hands, legs or feet
- muscular weakness
Call us at 1-888-377-0111 for a free consultation with an attorney to discuss your potential claim if you experience any of these symptoms.
In addition to neuropathy, zinc poisoning can potentially cause other neurological complications such as:
- Anemia: A blood disorder characterized by low red blood cell count.
- Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes: Disorders of the hematopoietic stem cells.
- Dysesthesias: Abnormal sensations that occur when a patient touches something. Patients may experience burning, wetness, itching, shocks, “pins and needles”, or other uncomfortable sensations in their extremities.
- Paresthesias: Spontaneous feelings of numbness, pinching, sharp, deep stabs, electric shocks, pinching or buzzing in the arms. Symptoms may also include feelings of cold, warmth, burning, itching, and skin crawling.
Call us at 1-888-377-0111 for a free consultation with an attorney to discuss your potential claim if you experience any of these neurological complications.
Additionally, patients with denture cream zinc poisoning have been misdiagnosed with:
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Demylinating Syndrome
- Chronic Inflammatory Demylinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)
- Guillan-Barre Syndrome.
