Leading personal injury lawyers Weitz & Luxenberg would like the public to be aware of the potential dangers that may be related to the excessive use of zinc-containing denture cream.
According to researchers, the human body needs zinc but too much zinc can purge the body of copper. Copper deficiency can lead to nerve damage. The symptoms of nerve damage include a feeling of weakness, numbness in arms and legs, difficulty walking, loss of balance and memory impairment.
Doctors at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center described the incidence of nerve-related disorders in four patients who used denture cream excessively i.e. 2 or 3 tubes per week. Generally, a tube is supposed to last for 3 to 10 weeks. Reportedly, people may overuse zinc-containing denture cream to prevent dentures from coming loose.
