The denture cream attorneys at Morgan & Morgan are currently reviewing claims on behalf of denture cream users who have experienced zinc poisoning and neuropathy. Several denture cream brands include zinc as an ingredient. While zinc is not dangerous in small quantities, excess amounts of this mineral can result in copper depletion and serious neurological problems. Exposure to toxic levels of zinc can also cause weakness, numbness, and loss of sensation.
Denture cream zinc poisoning symptoms include poor balance, tingling sensation, and pain in the extremities. A feeling of wearing gloves or socks when the skin is bare is another sign that may indicate zinc poisoning. Severe cases of zinc poisoning can lead to neuropathy, a condition that affects the nerves. Although zinc levels may eventually return to normal after an individual stops using denture cream, the neurological damage caused by zinc poisoning can be irreversible. A blood or urine test can determine whether a denture cream user has toxic levels of zinc in his or her system.
Many of the 35 million denture cream users in America are unaware of the health hazards posed by the zinc ingredient in some denture cream products. Morgan & Morgan provides detailed articles with information about denture cream side effects, zinc poisoning, copper deficiency, neuropathy, and other related topics on ForThePeople.com for those who want to learn more about the link between denture cream use and zinc toxicity.
If you regularly use a denture cream brand that contains zinc, you may be at risk for denture cream zinc poisoning and neuropathy. Dentures that don’t fit properly and long term and/or excessive denture cream use are among the risk factors that may increase the likelihood of developing these conditions.
