Denture cream/ zinc poisoning symptoms

Fixodent and Super PoliGrip are two leading brands of denture cream. Zinc is used in denture cream for its adhesive and odor-controlling properties. If someone uses more denture cream than is necessary, they may be exposed to dangerous levels of zinc.

The following are signs of zinc poisoning from denture cream:

• Paresthesias (numbness or tingling in arms and legs)
• Dysesthesias (painful or abnormal sense of touch)
• Walking difficulties (including lack of coordination)
• Weakness or heaviness in arms and legs
• Losing sensation
